What warts are
Warts are benign growths caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). They are contagious and can spread via contact; professional diagnosis is essential to distinguish them from other skin lesions. Benefits & types: Treatment may reduce discomfort, spread, or cosmetic concerns, though clearance is not guaranteed. We address common, plantar, flat, and periungual warts. Genital warts require a separate, sensitive clinical pathway. Treatment options: Clinician-selected methods include topical keratolytic treatments, cryotherapy, curettage, or electrosurgery, depending on the specific site and nature of the wart.
