Wart

Warts are an infectious disease that is caused by the Human Papilloma Virus, which is observed in the form of blisters on the skin and mucous membranes. Although the disease is frequently seen in the hands and feet, it can be seen in any area of the body, mucous membranes and genital area.

The most common form of warts is callus-like bumps on the skin. However, the difference between warts and calluses is the red dots observed when scraped. Warts are contagious.

However, a person's immune response is important in disease development. The diagnosis of warts is made clinically. Rarely, in treatment-resistant patients and genital warts, biopsy is performed to exclude other diseases that should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Topical treatments, cryotherapy and electrocauterization are the most commonly used methods in the treatment of warts.
