Warts are a frustrating, and confusing problem for parents and children. In fact, some people still think that you get warts from frogs, that warts have 'seeds,' and have no idea that warts are a simple viral infection.
Although warts are caused by a virus and they are contagious, it is not clear why some people get them very easily, but other people in the same family, including household contacts, and their close friends and other contacts, don't get them.
Common warts are flesh colored and have rough and irregular surfaces, have a dome shape, and can occur almost anywhere on a child's body.
Types of Warts
There are many different types of warts, most of which look different either because they are growing in different parts of the body or because they are caused by different viruses.
• Classic or Common Warts
• Plantar Warts - typically on the soles of a child's feet and can be painful. The little black dots in a plantar wart are broken blood vessels. Unlike a corn or callus, they do not retain the normal fingerprint marks around them.
• Periungal Warts - warts around a fingernail or toenail
• Flat Warts - smooth warts with flat tops and are often found on a child's face
• Molluscum Contagiosum is not really a wart, but many doctors call them 'little warts.'
Except for molluscum contagiosum, which is caused by a poxvirus, warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which also causes genital warts.
