Treatment & Types of Warts in Karnataka

Many warts resolve on their own over time without treatment, but persistent or bothersome warts can be treated with topical salicylic acid, cryotherapy to freeze the growth, or minor procedures like laser removal or surgical excision for resistant cases. Recurrence is common since the virus can remain in surrounding skin even after visible wart removal.

Warts are classified by appearance and location as common warts, typically rough and raised, usually on the hands; plantar warts, occurring on the soles of the feet and often flattened inward by pressure from walking; flat warts, smaller and smoother, often appearing in clusters on the face or legs; and filiform warts, thin and finger-like in projection, often around the mouth, nose, or eyes. Each type is caused by different strains of human papillomavirus and can vary somewhat in how readily they respond to standard treatments.
