Most Common Skin Disorders And Conditions

Warts

Dreamstime

Warts are skin growths caused by some strains of the human papillomavirus. While they can disappear on their own, this often takes months or even years. Additionally, warts are relatively contagious, so prompt treatment is crucial to avoid spreading the virus causing them to others. Thankfully, many warts are not painful, though they are unsightly. Individuals can get over-the-counter treatments for many warts, but they may also wish to visit a doctor for prescription treatment and options they are unable to perform themselves. In the meantime, individuals with warts should keep them dry and avoid picking at them to avoid infections or making them spread.
