Common warts, flat warts and plantar warts are caused by different strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) and appear on the hands, face, feet or genitals.
Warts are benign rough patches that appear on the skin when HPV infiltrates the body through a tear, rupture or scrape on the skin. These elevated, skin-hued protrusions can emerge anywhere on the body and often resemble blisters. While not life-threatening or cause for concern, many patients simply prefer to have them removed.
Common warts appear on hands, fingers, around the nails or on the backside of hands. Plantar warts manifest on the soles of the feet and can become painful without proper treatment. Flat warts can develop anywhere on the body, while filiform warts are thread-like protrusions on the face.
