Health Remedies - Skin Warts |
 |
|
Skin warts are noncancerous skin growths caused by a viral infection in the top layer of the skin or mucous membranes. Viruses that cause skin warts belong to a "family" called human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts are usually skin colored and feel rough to the touch, but can be dark, flat or smooth. Skin Warts probably are passed from person to person, sometimes indirectly. There are several different kinds of skin warts. Common skin warts usually grow around the nails, on the fingers and on the backs of the hands. Foot warts are usually on the soles of the feet and are called plantar warts. Flat skin warts are smaller and smoother than other warts and are most common on the face. Genital warts (also called condyloma) are a highly contagious sexually transmitted infection. Skin warts often disappear without treatment over a period of several months to years. |
