Understanding Warts
Warts occur when HPV infects the skin through small cuts or scrapes. Children are especially prone to warts due to their active lifestyles and frequent contact with shared surfaces, such as playground equipment or locker rooms.
Different Types of Warts in Kids:
- Common Warts (Verruca Vulgaris): Rough, raised bumps often found on fingers, hands, and knees.
- Plantar Warts: Flat warts on the soles of the feet, causing discomfort while walking or playing.
- Flat Warts: Smooth, flat-topped growths commonly appear on the face, arms, or legs.
- Filiform Warts: Thin, thread-like warts often seen around the mouth or nose.
- Periungual Warts: Growths around the fingernails or toenails may affect nail growth.
