Warts are a common viral skin infection caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) that presents as benign skin tumors. There are over 40 types of HPV that can cause warts, which most often appear on the hands and feet of children. Common types of warts include common warts, plantar warts, filiform warts, plane warts, and venereal or genital warts. Warts are transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact or contact with contaminated surfaces. While warts may resolve on their own, treatment options include freezing with liquid nitrogen, salicylic acid plasters, or podophyllin solutions. Preventing the spread involves proper hygiene and treating infected individuals.
