Warts are typically small, rough, hard growths that are similar in color to the rest of the skin.[1][3] They typically do not result in other symptoms, except when on the bottom of the feet, where they may be painful.[3] While they usually occur on the hands and feet, they can also affect other locations.[1] One or many warts may appear.[3] They are not cancerous.[3]

Warts are caused by infection with a type of human papillomavirus (HPV).[1] Factors that increase the risk include use of public showers, working with meat, eczema and a weak immune system.[1][3] The virus is believed to enter the body through skin that has been damaged slightly.[1] A number of types exist, including "common warts", plantar warts, "filiform warts", and genital warts.[3] Genital warts are often sexually transmitted.[5]

Without treatment, most types of warts resolve in months to years.[1] A number of treatments may speed resolution including salicylic acid applied to the skin and cryotherapy.[1] In those who are otherwise healthy, they do not typically result in significant problems.[1] Treatment of genital warts differs from that of other types.[3]

Warts are very common, with most people being infected at some point in their lives.[2] The estimated current rate of non-genital warts among the general population is 1–13%.[1] They are more common among young people.[1] The estimated rate of genital warts in sexually active women is 12%.[5] Warts have been described at least as far back as 400 BC by Hippocrates.[4]
