Periungual Warts
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Periungual warts are benign skin growths that appear around or beneath the fingernails and toenails, caused by the human papillomavirus. They usually have a rough surface and can spread over time.
Common symptoms: small, rough bumps around the edge of the nail, sometimes bothersome, which can affect the growth or appearance of the nail itself.
When should you see a doctor? When they multiply, cause pain, or do not go away, a professional evaluation is advisable.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the ideal professional to examine periungual warts; a general practitioner or internist can guide the initial consultation. Reviewing these lesions with a specialist helps define the most appropriate management.
