WARTS – DESCRIPTION
Warts are one of those common conditions we all know about but few understand.
Over the centuries many fancy stories were believed about the cause and also the treatment of this common and obvious blemish.
Some people even believe warts are caused by handling frogs and toads.
There are many variations of warts but it is now believed they all are caused by the same thing but vary because of different environmental factors surrounding their growth.
Warts are caused by a virus and are infectious.
The common wart (verruca vulgaris) is a dry, rough, raised and usually irregular lump on the skin.
It may be single, or more commonly multiple.
These warts are particularly common on the hands and around the knees of children but no age is exempt.
The warts may last for years or only for months. They come and they may go.
All forms of different treatments have been used and success claimed for them all.
Some people apply urine, saliva or thistle juice to warts and claim these and many other means are effective ways of dealing with them.
