Warts are non-inflammatory skin growths that are caused by the human papillomavirus. These viral growths in most cases, under unfavorable conditions, degenerate into skin cancer. However, a favorable course of the tumor process is rarely observed.
As a rule, the formation of warts occurs due to mechanical damage to the skin or concomitant skin diseases (for example, eczema). In the latter case, the rashes are never multiple and in most cases go away without any treatment after the underlying disease is cured.
Familial warts pose a particular danger to humans - oddly enough, they are inherited from parents to descendants. Since the papilloma virus is stored in the nerve ganglia, it is through these same nodes that the wart is transmitted from person to person. Often the formation of multiple warts, difficult to treat, is characteristic of
Warts are a viral skin disease that manifests itself as thickening and hardening at the site of inflammation. The thickening of the base is usually called the “leg”. This term should not be neglected, because it is from the base that the wart most often grows. The base of the wart is usually pink in color compared to the adjacent area of healthy skin; it stands out slightly above the skin and rises above the surface of the skin. The base may be slightly sunken and is pigmented slightly darker than the surrounding skin. In the center and along the edges, the wart is thickened and compacted, sometimes it is covered with a crust. If the wart is strongly compacted, then it is smooth, dense and does not have special (skin) protrusions. Less often, its base is follicular, like a small pimple; this type of apex only rises above the skin, but
