A wart is a small growth with a rough texture that can appear anywhere on the body. It can look like a solid blister or a small cauliflower and are caused by a group of viruses known as the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). There are more than 100 serotypes of HPV that causes warts in human. The clinical implication of warts depend on the site of its occurrence. When they appear on the genitals, they may carry an increased propensity to develop genital or cervical cancers, especially in females. Their presence on the visible areas may be cosmetic concern too. Even though they often resolve spontaneously, treatment may be necessary to prevent spread and reduce the risk of development of carcinomas. Dermatologists have many treatments for warts.
