Wart Removal & Treatment in Miami, FL
What Are Warts?
Warts are non-cancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). While harmless, they can be contagious and aesthetically bothersome. Warts are often rough to the touch and may display tiny black dots—clotted blood vessels beneath the surface. Although they pose no serious health risk, many people choose to remove a wart for cosmetic reasons or to prevent spreading.
Common Types of Warts
Different types of warts may appear on various parts of the body:
-
Common Warts: Gray or brown, dome-shaped growths typically found on fingers or hands
-
Plantar Warts: Hard, painful growths on the soles of the feet that grow inward and make walking uncomfortable
-
Flat Warts: Small, smooth bumps in pink, yellow, or brown shades often seen on the face, arms, or legs
-
Filiform Warts: Flesh-colored, finger-like projections that usually appear on the face or neck
-
Periungual Warts: Painful growths around or under fingernails and toenails that can disrupt nail growth
What Causes Warts?
Warts are caused by HPV entering through tiny breaks in the skin. The virus triggers rapid growth of skin cells, forming a wart. Warts spread easily through skin-to-skin contact or by sharing towels, razors, or shoes. Once you develop one, it can also spread elsewhere on your own body.
