Type of warts

Warts can appear on different parts of the body and below are some descriptions relating to warts found on hands, feet and flat warts types.

1. Hand Warts

These are common and will grow around the nails, on fingers and on the backs of a person's hand. They will often appear where the skin is broken on the hands. This can make a student self-conscious in class and it is something that one feels a lot as we use our hands for so many applications.

2. Foot Warts :

These are also known as plantar warts and generally occur on the ball of the foot, the heel and the bottom of your toes. These areas of the body are subject to weight, pressure and irritation and will have a tendency to crack and break open which provides a way for the virus to enter the body. These types of warts do not generally stick up above the skin and people of all ages are susceptible to these warts. They are most prevalent in adolescents between the ages of 12 and 16. Often they will pick up the virus in locker rooms (at school), at swimming pools or just by walking barefoot on a dirty surface. Also people who suffer from diabetes mellitus are likely to develop plantar warts and they develop in areas where sores did not heal properly before.

3. Flat Warts:

These are smaller than the two mentioned above and tend to grow in large numbers as well as appearing anywhere on the body. However flat warts appear most often on the legs of women and faces of children and young adult males. These are different than the common hand wart.
