What is a wart?
Warts are small lumps on the skin that most people have at some point in their life. They usually go away on their own but may take months or even years.
Warts do not cause you any harm, but some people find them itchy, painful or embarrassing.
Check if you have a wart :
- Warts feel firm and rough. They can appear on palms, knuckles, knees and fingers
- Warts are usually skin coloured but may appear darker on dark skin
- Some warts are round, flat and can be yellow (plane warts). You can have many of them
(NHS, 2020)


What causes Warts?
Warts are caused by a virus. They can be spread to other people from contaminated surfaces or through close skin contact. You’re more likely to spread a wart if your skin is wet or damaged.
It can take months for a wart or verruca to appear after contact with the virus.
