Subungual Warts
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Subungual warts are skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus that appear around or beneath the fingernails or toenails.
How are they recognized? they look like rough thickenings at the edge of or beneath the nail, sometimes painful when pressed; they can deform the shape of the nail and spread to nearby fingers or toes.
When is it worth having them checked? when they hurt, grow, multiply, or affect the appearance and shape of the nail, an evaluation is worthwhile to distinguish them from other lesions.
Which specialist treats them? the dermatologist is the one who examines the skin and nails and guides the most appropriate management for each case; a general practitioner can provide the first guidance. Seeing a professional helps confirm what they are and prevent the lesions from spreading.
