Typical warts are small, grainy skin growths that often occur on your fingers or hands. Rough to the touch, common warts often feature a pattern of tiny black dots and clotted blood vessels.
Typical warts are generated by a virus and are transferred by touch. It can take as long as two to six months for a wart to form after your skin is exposed to the virus. Typical warts are usually harmless and eventually vanish on their own. But many people dismiss them because they find them annoying or embarrassing.
Warts are raised bumps on your skin generated by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can be uncomfortable, contagious, and painful. There are home remedies, or you can see a medical professional for treatment.
Wart types vary depending on the affected body part.
| Type | Location | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Common Warts | Hands, fingers | Rough, grainy, with tiny black dots |
| Flat Warts | Face, forehead | Small, smooth, flat-topped |
| Plantar Warts | Soles of feet | Look like calluses with black dots in the centre; often painful and form in clusters |
| Genital Warts | Genitals (penis, vagina, rectum) | A type of sexually transmitted disease |
| Periungual & Subungual | Under or around toenails and fingernails | Can be painful and affect nail growth |
When the human papillomavirus (HPV) enters a cut in the skin, it triggers a skin condition that forms warts. Warts are very contagious. The virus can spread from person to person or from other areas of the body through:
Warts vary in appearance. They may look:
Your dermatologist can diagnose warts just by looking at the bumps. Occasionally, your doctor may take a skin biopsy sample to test for HPV.
Warts often go away on their own after your immune system fights off the virus. However, your doctor may recommend treatment because warts can spread, cause pain, and be unsightly.
| Treatment | What It Does | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| At-Home Wart Removal | Over-the-counter medications like salicylic acid liquefy warts one layer at a time | Mild, common warts |
| Cryotherapy (Freezing) | Liquid nitrogen freezes the wart; a blister forms and peels off | Common warts, plantar warts |
| Immunotherapy | Topical chemical (like diphencyprone) triggers a mild allergic reaction to make the wart go away | Stubborn warts that don’t respond to other treatments |
| Laser Treatment | Laser rays heat and destroy tiny blood vessels inside the wart, cutting off blood supply | Resistant warts |
| Topical Medicine (Cantharidin) | A liquid mixture is applied; a blister forms under the wart and cuts off its blood supply | Common warts (requires follow-up visit) |
The cost of wart treatment depends on the treatment type, number of warts, and number of sessions required.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Cryotherapy (per session) | Starting from ₹1,000 |
| Laser Treatment (per session) | Starting from ₹2,500 |
| Topical Medicine (Cantharidin) | Starting from ₹1,500 |
| Immunotherapy (per session) | Starting from ₹2,000 |

Warts are raised bumps on your skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can be uncomfortable, contagious, and painful, and they can appear anywhere on the body.
Yes, warts are very contagious. The virus can spread through direct contact with a wart, touching contaminated surfaces (towels, doorknobs, shower floors), or sexual contact (genital warts).
Warts often go away on their own after your immune system fights off the virus. However, treatment is recommended because warts can spread, cause pain, and be unsightly.
You can reduce your risk by avoiding direct contact with warts, not sharing personal items, keeping feet covered in public areas, and avoiding nail biting or cuticle picking.
Treatment options include at-home salicylic acid, cryotherapy (freezing), immunotherapy, laser treatment, and topical medicine like cantharidin.
Most wart treatments cause minimal discomfort. Cryotherapy may cause a brief stinging sensation, and laser treatment may require numbing cream. Dr. Asma will ensure your comfort throughout.
The number of sessions depends on the type, size, and number of warts. Cryotherapy may require multiple sessions, while laser treatment may remove warts in 1–3 sessions.
