Warts are benign (non-cancerous) skin growths that appear when the virus infects the top layer of the skin. Warts are caused by Human Papilloma Virus. Children and young adults are more prone to develop warts. Warts are generally painless. People who share same towels, infected sexual partners, new-born – through infected birth canal, contact with infected hands are the common mode of transmission of the virus. Though largely harmless, warts can be quite disfiguring at times which is a source of cosmetic and social embarrassment. Warts may appear as small, flat smooth lesions and sometimes as rough, hard growths on the skin. Warts are generally skin colored, though they can be darker or lighter than one’s skin color. Warts may occur one at a time or in clusters. Although warts can occur in any part of the body, the most frequently affected areas include the hands, feet, genitals, face and neck. Your doctor will be able to diagnose and recognize a wart easily.

There are several types of warts. Some common variants are:

  • Flat warts (small and only slightly raised above the skin)
  • Filiform warts (long, narrow, filamentous)
  • Plantar warts (Painful variety that occur on the soles)
  • Genital warts or condyloma (Highly contagious; sexually transmitted variety of warts)

Genital warts are growths in and around the genital area i.e. the vagina, penis and rectum. They usually affect sexually active people mostly between the age of 19 and 30. People who have multiple sexual partners and a history of sexually transmitted diseases are the most vulnerable. They can spread through any type of sexual contact including oral sex. They can also spread from a lady to her foetus when the baby is passing through the birth canal while giving birth.
