A small, fleshy bump on the skin or mucous membrane caused by human papillomavirus. Warts are caused by various strains of human papillomaviruses. Different strains may cause warts in different parts of the body. Warts can be spread from one location on the body to another or from person to person by contact with the wart. The main symptom is a fleshy, painless growth on the skin. Common areas affected include the hands, feet, and genitals. Most warts go away on their own within months or years. Warts can grow anywhere on the body, and there are different kinds. For example, common warts grow most often on the hands, but they can grow anywhere.
FREEZING TREATMENT :
Concentrated cold air (a mixture of dimethyl ether and propane) is sprayed onto your wart. This kills the skin and allows you to scrape away the surface of the wart. These treatments are a good choice if you want to try to remove a wart quickly, but they aren’t strong enough to remove all warts.
CRYOTHERAPY :
Cryotherapy is another process where doctors use liquid nitrogen. It is applied with the help of a cotton swab to the areas where warts are present, in some cases it can be applied to the neighbouring areas as well. It leads to the formation of blisters that fade away with time.
Surgery is usually only considered if a wart hasn’t responded to other treatments. Your doctor can cut away your wart with a surgical knife or burn it with electricity. You’ll need to receive a shot of anesthetic first, and these shots can be painful. Surgery may also cause scarring.

Warts are caused by an infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV). The virus causes an excess amount of keratin, a hard protein, to develop in the top skin layer (epidermis). The extra keratin produces the rough, hard texture of a wart.
