Warts

What are warts?

Warts are hard, rough bumps that grow on the skin. They typically appear on the feet and hands. They are caused by a common skin virus. Most people are exposed to the virus at one time or another.
Warts may disappear by themselves over several months or years. However, warts may spread, and you may wish to have them treated.

Should I call the doctor?

Because the warts may spread, it is a good idea to see a physician. The doctor can accurately diagnose the warts, and together, you can choose a plan for treatment.
