Warts<\/h2>[vc_column_text el_position=”first last”]WARTS<\/b>\u00a0are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a highly contagious disease which facilitates the spread of this virus easily. Many people get a wart when they have skin-to-skin contact with someone who has already contracted it. You also can get it\u00a0by touching an object that touched a person\u2019s wart, such as a towel or the floor of a locker room.<\/span><\/p>\n

The type of wart you get depends on the type of HPV that infects you and where it is located.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top_margin=”page_margin_top”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″]

Types of Warts<\/h2>[vc_accordion top_margin=”page_margin_top_section” active=”1″ el_position=”last”][vc_accordion_tab title=”Common”][vc_column_text el_position=”first last”]These usually form on the fingers, around the nails where the virus can easily get into the body, such as near a bitten fingernail or hangnail, or also form on the back of our hands. A common wart often looks like a rough bump.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Plantar”][vc_column_text el_position=”first last”]<\/p>\n

When common warts form on the soles of the feet, they are called plantar warts. Plantar is the medical term for the bottom of the foot. Left untreated, they\u00a0can grow quickly.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Flat”][vc_column_text el_position=”first last”]These can be found anywhere on the skin, but are most common on the face. Shaving seems to cause these warts to spread, so flat warts are common in men\u2019s beard and on the legs of women.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Genital”][vc_column_text el_position=”first last”]They\u00a0usually appear in or around the genital region and are transmitted by sexual contact. In some cases, a mother can spread it to her baby during childbirth when the baby passes through the birth canal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Certain strains of genital warts can cause cancer in males and females, so it is important to treat them\u00a0early before they can turn into cancer. Women who have been exposed to this disease\u00a0should see a gynecologist to get screening tests for cervical cancer. This screening test allows doctors to find early signs of disease, which can be treated before cancer has a chance to develop.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”HPV”][vc_column_text el_position=”first last”]HPV vaccines can prevent males and females from getting some of the most common types of HPV that can cause genital warts and cancer. However, they do not protect against other types. For the best protection, it is important to get all three shots. The vaccines should be given before a person becomes sexually active.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”100px”]
