What Causes Warts and How to Get Rid of Them?

An unpleasant and unattractive skin condition is warts.

- DR. KARUNA MALHOTRA

Skin warts typically seem like little blister-like growths on a person's hands or feet. It might also manifest in other areas of the body. The human papillomavirus, or HPV, which is what causes it, is an infection. More than 15,000 viruses make up the HPV virus category. Actually an STD/STI, HPV is a sexually transmitted infection or disease. Anyone who engages in sexual activity has the risk of contracting HPV if their partner has the virus. Skin-to-skin contact is how it is spread. Warts can appear in different body parts or on the genital areas of those who have HPV.

Dr. Karuna Malhotra, Aesthetic Physician and Cosmetologist at Cosmetic Skin and Homeo Clinic, Rajouri Garden, New Delhi explains that "the distinctions between warts, moles, and skin tags are often unclear. Despite the fact that each of the three of them is unique in nature and arises for distinct reasons. Warts are typically little blisters or skin lesions that are the same colour as the person's skin."
