A wart is a common formation on the skin that can appear on any part of the body, including the feet, face, legs and intimate area. Warts are hard and rough to touch. Most often they don't cause any harm, but most people find them unpleasant and aesthetically discomforting. Warts on the feet are more painful and cause pain when walking.
Warts occur when skin cells are infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV). There are many strains of HPV that cause warts to appear on various parts of the body. Although each of us meets HPV many times throughout our lives, not everyone gets warts. This is thought to be due to differences in our immune systems. In some people, the wart can disappear on its own. But this process takes up from several months to several years. If the wart does not go away on its own or gives you discomfort, you can have it removed.
You can buy over-the-counter creams, patches and sprays in pharmacies to treat warts. Self-treatment can last 3 months or longer or be ineffective at all. In addition, improperly selected means against warts cause skin irritation, they cannot be used on the face. Therefore, only a specialist will appoint you the most appropriate treatment!
Even though warts are harmless and will not develop into a more serious skin disease, visit a dermatologist to find out exactly what kind of neoplasm you have. Sometimes people mistake warts for neoplasm, which can be dangerous.
A consultation with a dermatologist is necessary in these cases:
- An increase in the number of warts on your body.

- You have a wart on your face or intimate area.
