Plane warts on a patient's forehead. Warts are contagious,yet harmless,skin growths. They are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). There are at least thirty different types of HPV. Plane warts are flat and skin-coloured and are usually found in large numbers on the face. Warts affect only the outermost layer of skin. Around half of them spontaneously disappear within a year. Warts can be removed using chemicals or lasers,or by freezing (cryotherapy),scraping (curettage) or burning them (cautery) | |
