and Symptoms of Warts
The appearance of a wart can vary depending on its type and location.
Common signs may include:
- A small, raised growth
- Rough or grainy skin
- A hard bump
- Small dark dots within the wart
- Several similar growths close together
- Pain or tenderness, especially with plantar warts
Not every skin growth is a wart. Other skin conditions can look similar, so a healthcare professional may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
How Do Warts Spread?
Warts are contagious because they are caused by a virus.
