Warts can occur anywhere in the body. Most common areas are: on the fingers, toes, private parts and other extremities and can grow up to 2 inches.

They are round, hard, rough growths.

Most warts are caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The virus travels in the blood and can go to different parts of the body. Warts generally present in the extremities, including fingers and toes.

Seborrhoeic keratosis is a type of wart which is not caused by HPV – this has a genetic component and is also caused by sun damage. This is often seen in patients who spend a lot of time in the sun.

Warts are often very unsightly and, hence, can be a source of embarrassment for many people.
