Warts are noncancerous rough bumps that form on the skin and develop when HPV enters the body through a cut or break in the skin. These raised, skin-colored growths can develop anywhere on the body and look like a blister. They're harmless, but many of our patients prefer to remove them because they can be spread through contact and also . . . they just don't want these warts hanging around on their skin!

Common warts are typically found on hands, fingers, around the nails, or on the back of hands. Plantar warts appear on the bottom of the feet and can become painful without treatment.
