Warts are common, benign skin tumors that are caused by viruses called papillomaviruses.

Warts are described by how they look (common, flat, filiform) or by location (genital, plantar, respiratory papillomatosis).

Symptoms
Warts are very common, and are easily recognized by their rough, raised shapes.

Causes
Warts are passed from person to person, and occur more easily if the skin has been damaged in some way.

Treatment Options
There are a variety of treatments available:

• Salicylic acid gel
• Cantharidin
• Cryotherapy (freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen)
• Electrosurgery (burning)
• Laser treatments
