Warts Q&A

What Are Warts?

Warts are small, rough, skin-colored growths that occur when HPV infects the top layer of skin. Although they are typically harmless, warts can spread, cause discomfort, and become a source of embarrassment if left untreated. Warts are contagious and can spread through skin-to-skin contact or by touching shared surfaces like towels or gym equipment.

Types of Warts We Treat

At our Yuma dermatology clinic, we treat all types of warts, including:

Common Warts: Usually found on the hands or fingers; rough and dome-shaped
Plantar Warts: Grow on the soles of the feet and may be painful when walking
Flat Warts: Smaller, smoother warts often found on the face, arms, or legs
Filiform Warts: Long, narrow growths typically around the mouth, eyes, or nose
Periungual Warts: Form around or under fingernails and toenails

When to See a Dermatologist for Wart Removal

While some warts go away on their own, many persist or spread without proper treatment. You should see a dermatologist if:

The wart is painful, bleeding, or growing rapidly
Over-the-counter treatments haven’t worked
You have multiple or recurring warts
You’re unsure if the growth is a wart
You have a weakened immune system
