10 Common Places Warts Can Appear
Warts can appear anywhere on the face and body. They’re annoyingly persistent and can very easily spread to other areas – or be passed onto other people.
The contagious nature of warts means that they tend to appear more where the skin is exposed and/or regularly touched or rubbed.
Common Places For Warts
Some of the more common locations for warts are:
- Hands
- Fingers and thumbs
- Fingernails where the virus can get in after a hangnail
- Nose
- Eyes
- Penis
- Vagina
- Anus
- Groin
- Feet (also known as verruca or plantar warts)
Before and After Photos
This before and after picture shows the results of wart removal treatment at Cosmedics’ London Mole Removal Centre. The wart has a characteristic speckled appearance and indented, raised surface.
After treatment, the skin is smooth and healthy. The redness after treatment will continue to fade and become less noticeable with time.
Getting Rid of Warts
There are over the counter preparations which may be effective in some cases of warts on the hands and feet. However, these are not suitable for genital warts and will not be suitable for many facial warts due to delicate skin and proximity to eyes or mouth.
Where over the counter preparations fail or are unsuitable, there are professional treatments that can be effective, carried out in complete confidence.
