An infectious skin tumour caused by a viral infection.
A common skin tumor caused by a virus infection. It is contagious from case to case or from skin area to skin area in the same individual.
A cauliflower-like overgrowth of epidermal cells.
A small hard harmless growth on the skin, usually on the hands, feet or face, caused by a virus.
Small, benign, often hard growth in the skin caused by a virus, and more common in children and young adults. Warts frequently disappear spontaneously but may be treated by cryosurgery (usually using liquid nitrogen), electrodesiccation, application of certain chemicals (e.g., sliicylic acid), and removal by currette. Also called verruca.
Abnormal growths on the skin due to viral infection caused by human papillomavirus.
(Surface of cap or stem base) Small patches of universal veil remnants resembling warts; (surface of spores) small, rounded projections that look like warts.
A rough, infectious, skin-colored bump caused by a virus in the human papillomavirus family. There are more than 70 types of warts. The typical wart is a bump, but some warts are small, hard, and flat. They are contagious and can be passed from person to person through direct contact. Warts may grow anywhere on the body but most frequently occur on the hands, feet, and face. Common warts usually occur on the fingers and hands. Periungual warts occur around the nails; subungual warts occur under the nails. Plantar warts occur on the soles of the feet. Juvenile warts (also known as flat or plane warts) are smooth, flat warts that occur primarily in children but also can occur in adults. Genital warts (also known as condylomas) are infectious warts that occur around and on the genitals and anus.
A small (often hard) benign growth in the skin. Caused by a virus, warts are commoner in young people, usually occurring on the face, fingers, hands, elbows, and knees. There are several types. Juvenile warts occur profusely on the hands and face of children; common warts are larger, with a rougher surface, and occur on the hands. Plantar warts occur on the soles of the feet; they are subject to pressure and are therefore painful and may be covered by a thick callus. They spread rapidly in communities, such as schools. Venereal warts are found on the genitals or around the anus in both sexes. Warts usually disappear spontaneously but there is a wide range of treatments, including local application of chemicals, removal with a curette, and electrocautery.
Warts or verrucae, are small, solid outgrowths from the skin arising from the epidermis and caused by various subtypes of ‘human papillomavirus. The causal viruses are probably present in most people but whether or not warts develop depends upon age, previous infection and natural resistance.
A circumscribed cutaneous elevation resulting from hypertrophy of the papillae and epidermis.
A raised growth on the surface of the skin or other organ.
A typical, contagious, and benign occurrence found on the skin or mucous membranes is a growth that only affects the outermost layer of the skin. This visible lump is the result of an excess of cells in this superficial layer.
Warts are a result of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which includes a diverse range of at least 70 known types. Different types of warts can emerge in various locations, including the hands, feet, and genital area. Flat warts, in particular, have a flesh-colored appearance and can present as flat-topped, occasionally itchy bumps mainly found on the wrists, the backs of hands, and the face.
Numerous warts often resolve on their own within 6 to 12 months without any treatment. However, it’s crucial to promptly address genital warts. Common, flat, and plantar warts can occasionally be eliminated using a specialized wart-removing liquid or adhesive plaster. Multiple treatments might be required, and there’s a possibility of the wart returning. Cryosurgery is a common approach for treating warts.
