Warts
A wart is a benign, non-cancerous skin growth caused by a Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection, typically appearing as rough, grainy, flesh-colored, or brownish bumps but with variations in size, shape, and texture depending on the type. They are contagious, spreading through skin-to-skin contact or indirect contact with items that touched a wart. Common types include common warts (on hands), plantar warts (on feet), flat warts (on face, legs), and filiform warts (thread-like, on face). Treatments include cantharidin, prescription fluorouracil or imiquimod, laser therapy, and minor surgical removal.
