Common Wart
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A common wart is a benign skin growth caused by the human papillomavirus. It appears as a rough, coarse bump, similar in color to the skin or grayish, common on the hands, fingers, and around the nails.
Common symptoms: They are usually painless, though they can be bothersome when located in areas of rubbing or pressure. At times they have small dark dots on their surface and can multiply or spread to other areas.
How does it spread? The virus is transmitted through direct contact with the skin or with surfaces, and it enters more easily when there are small wounds or the skin is moist.
When is a review worthwhile? Coming in makes sense if the wart grows, hurts, bleeds, changes in appearance, or doesn't go away. The dermatologist is the one who evaluates these lesions and offers guidance on the options available for each person.
