Warts are lesions on the skin which are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts can occur on any part of the body ranging from hands, feet, beard, scalp, and genitalia. HPV stimulates thickening of the skin which in turn forms the warty projections on the skin.

Warts are round or oval shaped, varying in size from few millimetres to few centimeters. They are usually asymptomatic, but sometimes, may be associated with pain and / or itching. The most common areas of the body affected include hands, feet, face, forehead and genital areas.

There are various treatment options available for warts-

Acid – Certain solutions containing acids like salicylic acid and lactic acid – these solutions are keratolytic or peeling agents which remove the dead layers of the skin, thus may help to peel the wart away.

Freezing (cryotherapy) – Freezing therapy involves destroying the wart using liquid nitrogen. This forms a blister around the wart and removes the wart by sloughing off the blister and dead skin. Multiple treatments may be required when using the freezing technique.

Radiofrequency ablation – This involves the use of radiofrequency heat to kill the wart tissue. This is done under local anaesthesia.

Laser treatment – The laser can burn the infected tissue which eventually dies, and the wart falls off.
