Warts

A wart is generally a small, rough tumor, typically on hands and feet but often other locations, which can resemble a cauliflower or a solid blister. Warts are common and are caused by a viral infection, specifically by the human papilloma virus (HPV) and are contagious by contact with the skin of an infected person. It is also possible to get warts from using hand towels or other objects used by an infected person.

Wart Treatment

Treatment options can include:

• Topical creams/solutions
• cryosurgery
