Wart
Almost everyone knows someone that has had a wart or has had a wart themselves. Warts or verruca are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) and are very common. Children to adults can get warts. Sometimes they are rough and raised and sometimes flat and smooth. Almost always painless. Patients that are immunosuppressed from a transplant or HIV are at risk for warts. HPV is typically harmless and there are literally hundreds of subtypes of this virus. The good news is most common warts such as subtype 2, 3, 4, 27, etc. are harmless. These are different subtypes than the vaccine that adolescents get to protect themselves from cancerous sexually transmitted strains of HPV. That is why it is possible to still get a wart on the bottom of your foot (plantar wart) even if you had the vaccine.
Warts can occur anywhere on the body from the head down to the toes and everywhere in between. Treatment for warts are available over here at Skin and Sculpt and recommended to schedule an appointment for Dr. Neetika Paul.
