Warts are a skin condition in which abnormal skin growths appear. While it can be unsightly, it can also be quite painful, and can prevent you from moving comfortably.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”mb-5″][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” el_class=”no-padding”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”704″ img_size=”full” alignment=”centre” el_class=”no-padding” css=”.vc_custom_1592533368282{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”yellow-gradient”][vc_column_text el_class=”px-5 pt-5 pb-3″]Warts may appear as a bump with a rough surface, or it may be flat and smooth. Tiny blood vessels grow into the wart and may appear as dark dots in the centre. Typically, the skin lines and creases over the wart are distorted. Warts can appear either alone or in groups.\r\n\r\nCommon warts<\/strong>\u00a0appear most often on the hands and can be easily recognized by the rough, cauliflower-like appearance of the surface. They are usually about the size of a pencil eraser.\r\n\r\nPlantar warts<\/strong> are located on the bottom of the foot. They look like hard, thick patches of skin with dark specks. Plantar warts can be as large as two inches across but are typically about the size of a pencil eraser. Plantar warts symptoms may be painful or uncomfortable, especially when walking.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_id=”how-are-they-caused” el_class=”mt-4″][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_custom_heading text=”What Are Warts Caused By?” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”text-uppercase”][vc_column_text]The cause of warts is a virus that enters the skin through a cut or abrasion. The virus causes the top layer of skin to grow rapidly, resulting in a wart.\r\n\r\nThe type of HPV virus that causes warts is contagious, and you can get it through direct contact from sharing personal items such as towels and razors, for example. You can even re-infect yourself by touching the wart and then another part of your body.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”my-5″][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section][vc_row content_placement=”top”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Shop Products for Warts” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”text-uppercase”][vc_raw_html]JTVCcHJvZHVjdHNfc2xpZGVyJTIwY2F0cyUzRCUyMjE3MSUyMiUyMGF1dG9wbGF5JTNEJTIyZmFsc2UlMjIlMjBvcmRlcmJ5JTNEJTIybWVudV9vcmRlciUyMiU1RA==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=”mt-5″ el_id=”what-can-i-do”][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_custom_heading text=”How To Get Rid Of Warts” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”text-uppercase”][vc_column_text]Because warts can not only be embarrassing but also uncomfortable, you\u2019ll be happy to know there are some simple tips that can help you learn how to prevent warts, and how to help get rid of them:\r\n
