Warts is a skin lesion caused by a viral
infection with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which enters the skin
through small cuts and infects the skin. They can be found across all
age group though children, especiaslly teenagers tend to be more
susceptible to warts than adults. The virus is transmitted via direct
contact normally through moist surfaces such as public swimming pool or
changing room. Most warts are harmless and benign, even though painful
and unsightly. There are several simple procedures which our podiatrist
might use to remove warts. These include anti-wart paint or
cryosurgery.
