  Warts are small growths on the skin that are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). They generally appear as skin-colored bumps with a raised, rough surface. Although much of the time warts are harmless, and clear spontaneously within 1-2 years, they may also require medical treatment depending on their location and symptoms. Generally, warts are uncommon in infants, common in children, and decline in prevalence into adulthood. […] The presence of one or more round, raised, rough surfaces on the skin (usually on the hands or feet) can indicate the presence of warts. Warts can vary in appearance depending on their location on the body and the infecting HPV strain. They may have numerous small black dots on their surface, which are clotted blood vessels. Although warts are often asymptomatic (other than the change in appearance of affected skin), they can have negative effects on quality of life by causing physical discomfort or psychological distress over cosmetic appearance.

  Common warts are harmless skin lesions that are usually found on the hands or soles of the feet, the latter referred to as plantar warts. Warts have a fleshy and hard feel to them, can be associated with skin thickening, and often are described as having a cauliflower-like appearance. Warts, especially plantar warts and those developing near fingernails are sometimes painful. Plantar warts are also slow to spontaneously heal and can be more difficult to treat. […] Collectively, these non-genital warts are harmless lesions that for most people heal completely, without treatment in several months to years. Unless warts cause pain, there are no immediate reasons for treatment. Many people find warts to be aesthetically unpleasing and warts carry a degree of social stigma that drives many to seek medical treatment.

In school-aged children, the prevalence is as high as 10% to 20%. They are more common among immunosuppressed patients and meat handlers. […] The majority of warts do not cause symptoms. However, they do cause cosmetic disfigurement and, in a rare patient, may cause localized pain. Plantar warts can be painful because of compression and extensive friction that can lead to bleeding. If the plantar wart is large, it can even impair a patient’s ambulation and ability to wear shoes. […] Close to two-thirds of warts resolve spontaneously over several years, so the efficacy of treatments is difficult to discern. Warts usually do not cause residual scarring when they disappear on their own. However, almost every type of topical treatment available has the potential to cause moderate to severe scarring.

  For new warts, watchful waiting may be recommended instead of treatment, as many warts resolve on their own. Otherwise, the main medical treatments for warts are topical medications, which are applied directly to the wart. Salicylic acid is often the first line of treatment, since it can be acquired without a prescription and has a cure rate of 50-70%, although it usually takes several weeks of application to work. Cryotherapy is another first-line topical treatment, in which liquid nitrogen is applied directly to the wart. In addition to destroying the HPV-infected wart cells, the tissue damage caused by topical therapies stimulates the immune system, which may play a role in the eventual clearing of not only the treated wart, but warts at other sites in the body. […] Whether a wart is treated or not depends on personal preference and symptoms. If the wart is not painful, has not spread, and is not present on an area of the skin that causes cosmetic or physical discomfort, simple observation may be an option, since up to two-thirds of warts go away by themselves within 2 years. For people seeking treatment, the least expensive and least painful treatments should be tried first. One of the drawbacks to medical treatments is that they generally work by causing tissue damage, which can cause permanent scarring, whereas warts that resolve on their own generally do so without leaving a scar.
