Types of Warts

• Flat warts develop primarily on the face and forehead.
• Genital warts arise in the pubic area and directly on the genitals.
• Plantar warts develop on the soles of the feet.
• Subungual and periungual warts develop under or around the fingernails and toenails.
• Genital warts are highly contagious and can be transmitted during oral, vaginal, or anal sex. In women, warts can be undetected on the cervix and transmitted to a sexual partner.

Common Warts

• Are small, bumpy mounds
• They are usually flesh-colored, pink, or tan, but some may be white
• It feels rough to the touch
• Will bleed if picked

Many common warts disappear within two years; however, due to their unsightly appearance, many people opt to have them removed through:

• Cryotherapy (freezing) – Uses liquid nitrogen to remove warts. The advantages of this option include minimal pain and minimal time investment.
• Minor surgery – Wart tissue is cut away surgically, and the area is cauterized (burned). Since surgery may leave a scar, it is often the last option.
