Warts are small growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can be spread through direct contact with an infected person or contaminated surfaces. Warts can appear in various forms, including common warts on the hands, plantar warts on the feet, and genital warts in the genital and anal areas. They are often painless but can be uncomfortable or embarrassing.

To diagnose warts, a healthcare provider will typically perform a visual examination. In some cases, they may use additional tests like dermatoscopy, biopsy, or blood tests to check for underlying immune system issues.
