What are warts and why do they appear?

Warts are small, benign skin lesions caused by certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They usually appear on the hands, fingers, feet and other parts of the body, although they can also develop in other areas depending on the type of virus.

These lesions can vary in size and appearance, with common warts and plantar warts being the most common. Although many disappear spontaneously over time, they sometimes require treatment to prevent discomfort, further growth or spread.

What are wart treatments used for?

Wart treatments help to gradually remove the lesion and promote the recovery of healthy skin.

  • They help to remove common warts.
  • They help treat plantar warts.
  • They help to gradually remove the affected tissue.
  • They promote skin regeneration.
  • They help to reduce the discomfort caused by warts on weight-bearing areas.
  • They allow you to treat lesions easily at home by following the instructions for use.

How do you choose the best treatment for warts?

The choice of treatment will depend on the type of wart, its location and each person’s preferences.

  • Salicylic acid: helps to gradually remove the affected tissue through a keratolytic action.
  • Cryotherapy: treatments that freeze the wart to facilitate its removal.
  • Topical solutions: applied directly to the lesion.
  • Gels or applicator pens: allow for precise application.
  • Wart plasters: these protect the area whilst acting on the lesion.

If you are unsure about the type of lesion, or if the wart changes in appearance, bleeds, is extremely painful or appears in sensitive areas, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any treatment.

Types of warts

Warts can take different forms depending on their location and the type of virus responsible.

  • Common warts: these usually appear on the hands and fingers.
  • Plantar warts: these appear on the sole of the foot and can be painful when walking.
  • Flat warts: small, smooth lesions that usually appear on the face or limbs.
  • Periungual warts: found around the nails.

When should a wart be treated?

It is advisable to treat a wart when it causes pain or discomfort, increases in size, multiplies or affects daily activities. It may also be advisable to remove it to reduce the risk of spreading it to other people or of self-inoculation in other areas of the body.

Pharmacists’ advice on preventing warts

Some simple measures can help reduce the risk of warts appearing or spreading:

  • Do not pick at or remove warts.
  • Maintain good hand and foot hygiene.
  • Wear flip-flops in swimming pools, showers and public changing rooms.
  • Do not share towels, nail files or nail clippers.
  • Keep your feet dry and wear breathable footwear.
