Warts
Warts
are a type of infection caused by viruses
in the human papillomavirus (HPV) family.
There are at least 60 types of HPV viruses.
Warts can grow on all parts of your body.
They can grow on your skin, on the inside
of your mouth, on your genitals and on
your rectal area. Some types of HPV tend
to cause warts on the skin, while other
HPV types tend to cause warts on the genitals
and rectal area. Some people are more
naturally resistant to the HPV viruses
and don't seem to get warts as easily
as other people.
Warts
can be transmitted from one person to
another by touching the wart. We can remove
warts here at the office. IT is not advised
to try to remove them yourself. Genital
warts are treated differently than regular
skin warts.
