Types of Warts
Common warts
also called verruca vulgaris, usually found on fingers, hands, knees, and elbows, a common wart is a small, hard bump that's dome-shaped and usually grayish-brown. It has a rough surface that may look like the head of a cauliflower, with black dots inside.
Plantar warts
Plantar warts are benign (noncancerous) growths that occur on the sole, heel, or ball of the foot. Pressure from standing and walking often causes them to grow into deep layers of the skin.
Flat warts
A small, smooth flattened wart, tan or flesh coloured that commonly grow in large numbers, ranging from 20 to 100 at a time. Flat warts usually appear on the face, but can also appear on other parts of the body including the arms, knees, or hands. Flat warts are more common among teens and children than adults.
Genital warts
Are flesh-colored or gray growths found in the genital area and anal region in both men and women. Genital warts can also be transmitted to the mouth and throat during oral sexual contact with an infected partner. These warts are a type of sexually transmitted disease (STD).
Mosaic warts
Mosaic warts are a cluster of several small warts growing closely together in one area
