What are the different type of warts?
There are several different type of warts and each type has distinct features and located on different parts of the body. The group of warts classified as cutaneous warts are comprised of plantar, common, and flat warts. Depending on the anatomic location of the wart, and its size, and your underlying immune status, there are different treatments for warts available.
Common Warts
Common warts, also called verruca vulgaris, are typically flesh colored and appear on the extremities. ย They are round and rough in texture with a grainy appearance and usually grow on the knuckles, elbows, fingers and toes, and areas of broken skin (such as with eczema).
Plantar Warts
Plantarย warts are usually found on the soles of the feet, heels, and toes. Plantar warts can be found embedded in the skin, surrounded by areas of hardened skin, with black dots in the center. Plantar warts can form clusters on the bottom of your feet which are called mosaicย warts. Mosaic warts can sometimes be confused with corns on the bottom of your feet. These warts can be so painful that even walking becomes difficult. Since we stand on our feet for much of the day, the warts get pushed into the bottom of the foot, and are often more difficult to remove. Many individuals contract plantar warts from walking barefoot in locker rooms or at the gym.
