Welcome to a blog where we’re going to talk about something a bit tricky but conquerable – Warts! Yep, those tiny bumps that sometimes show up on our skin. We’ll understand the secrets of warts: what brings them to the party, the different types they come in, how Skinnu can help kick them out, and even some tips to keep them away.
What are Warts?
Warts, those pesky little bumps on the skin, are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can appear almost anywhere on the body. They are not just unsightly; they’re contagious too! Warts typically pop up on the hands, but don’t be surprised if they show up on your feet, face, genitals, or knees.
Who’s at Risk?
Warts come from a virus called HPV. Children often find themselves battling warts due to their knack for getting cuts and scrapes. But warts don’t discriminate – anyone can get them. People with weakened immune systems or autoimmune diseases are particularly vulnerable to the virus behind warts.
Know Your Warts
Warts come in different types, depending on where they decide to make an appearance:
- Common Warts:These are the typical hand warts, the most common of the bunch.
- Flat Warts: Found on the face and forehead, they are small and flat.
- Plantar Warts: These show up on the soles of your feet, often in clusters, and can be quite painful.
- Genital Warts:As the name suggests, these are a type of sexually transmitted infection affecting the genital area.
- Periungual and Subungual Warts: These sneak around fingernails and toenails, making life a tad uncomfortable.
Facing Wart Troubles
Warts are indeed contagious and can spread like wildfire through direct contact or by sharing everyday items. They vary in appearance – dome-shaped, flat, rough, and can be skin-colored, brown, grey, or black.
Treatment Options
While some warts may vanish on their own, treatment might be necessary to speed up the process and prevent them from spreading. Here are a few options:
- At-Home Wart Removal: Over-the-counter medications with salicylic acid can help dissolve warts layer by layer.
- Freezing (Cryotherapy): Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze warts, which eventually peel off.
- Immunotherapy:For stubborn warts, immunotherapy boosts your immune system’s ability to fight the virus.
- Laser Treatment:Laser light heats and destroys blood vessels inside the wart, leading to its demise.
- Topical Medicine:A mixture containing cantharidin forms a blister under the wart, cutting off its blood supply.

Wart Complications
While most warts fade away without trouble, they can occasionally lead to complications such as infections, disfigurement, or pain, particularly plantar warts. Genital warts are also associated with a higher risk of certain cancers.
Preventing Warts
Preventing warts isn’t always easy, but you can reduce the risk by avoiding sharing personal items, practicing good hygiene, and getting vaccinated for certain types of warts.
Outlook
Once you’ve had warts, they may return. However, with proper treatment and precautions, you can keep them at bay.
Aftercare
Once the wart is gone, it’s time for some aftercare. Keep the area clean and dry, just like giving your skin a break. If a tiny scar decides to stick around, don’t worry and be concerned with the doctors of Skinnu.

If your warts cause pain, appear infected, or disrupt your daily life, it’s time to consult a healthcare provider for the best treatment.
