Warts: A Living Virus

Did you know that warts are a living virus within your body? It can take months or years for a wart to fade, and even then it is not guaranteed. Warts can be unsightly, painful under pressure, and easily spread at the pool or in the hot tub.

Wart Symptoms and Treatment

Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), with over 100 types that can form a wart. HPV thrives in warm, damp places such as shower rooms, pools and changing-room floors, enters through cracked skin, and spreads through shared towels, razors or brushes.

While most warts on the hands and feet are harmless, others need prompt attention, and warts on pressure points can be painful. Our treatment removes the virus so it stops spreading to other areas or other people.

Risk Factors and Signs of Infection

  • Sensitive immune system: a weak immune system lets the virus take hold.
  • Age: children and young adults are most affected.
  • Walking barefoot in damp areas.
  • Sharing towels, razors or brushes.
  • Open wounds from cuts or nail biting.
  • Sweaty feet in tight, non-breathable shoes.

Warts vary in size and shape, bulging or flat and smooth. Blood vessels grow toward the centre to feed the wart; common and plantar warts often show this as a black dot.
