Warts
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The dermatologist is the usual point of reference for warts, since they assess the skin and offer guidance on how to approach these lesions.
Warts are small, rough growths on the skin caused by a viral infection, which can appear on the hands, feet, or other areas of the body.
Common characteristics: They are usually raised, with a coarse surface and, at times, cluster together or multiply over time.
When is it worth having them reviewed? If they grow, change in appearance, cause discomfort, or spread, it's worth showing them to a skin professional who can indicate the best way to treat them.
