• Plantar warts:
These grow into the skin of the soles of the feet. The growth of a plantar wart indicates a blackish lesion with pain on the pressure in the bottom of the foot with surrounding hard skin.
• Flat warts:
These are found on the face, back of hands, and shins. Moreover, flat warts are small, multiple, smooth, and flat-topped skin or hyperpigmented lesions.
• Filiform warts:
These are soft, thin, finger-like growths present mainly on the face and neck.
• Periungual warts:
These are found under and around the toenails and fingernails. They can be painful and can also interfere with healthy nail growth.
Treatments of Warts
There are several treatment modalities for treating warts. The objective of the treatments available is to remove the wart and also to enable the immune system to effectively fight the virus.
• Electrosurgery:
In this treatment, an electrical charge burns the wart tissue. As a result, this causes the tissue to dry and fall off. Moreover, electrosurgery is effective for a single wart or a small area. However, if not done properly it could leave scars for large areas of warts.
• Topical application – Clinic based
In this treatment, various agents such as salicylic acids or podophyllin, or trichloroacetic acids are applied directly on warts causing their destruction. However, this requires multiple sessions. And results can be sometimes unpredictable.
