Symptoms for Warts

Warts Menu

Some Important Symptoms of Warts includes:

Common warts appear most often on the tops of the fingers and hands, usually along the cuticles, as rough, thick, cauliflowerlike papules that develop solitarily or in large numbers. Black dots, which are minute blood vessels, can be seen in them, especially after paring down some of the thickened skin. Small satellite warts may surround the original lesion because the virus is usually present in a one-centimeter radius surrounding the wart.

Plantar warts occur on the soles of the feet, are often thick and callused, grow inward, and can be quite painful and bothersome. Tiny clusters of warts, called mosaic warts, are particularly stubborn and resistant to treatment.

Ano-genital warts are flesh to gray in color, grow in mucous membranes, and vary in size from small, shiny papules, to large cauliflowerlike lesions. They can extend internally into the vagina and cervix, the rectal area, and inside the urethra. Anyone who has ano-genital warts should have them examined by a physician.
