Warts and verrucae are common benign skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear on various body parts, including hands, feet, and face, presenting as rough, raised lesions. While generally harmless, warts can be unsightly and may cause discomfort, especially when located on weight-bearing areas like the soles of the feet (plantar warts). Treatment options vary, ranging from over-the-counter topical solutions containing salicylic acid to cryotherapy, where warts are frozen off using liquid nitrogen. In dermatology and cosmetology, practitioners focus on both the cosmetic appearance and the underlying viral infection to provide comprehensive care. Preventive strategies, including practicing good hygiene and avoiding direct contact with warts, can significantly lower the risk of transmission and recurrence.
