Description Of Warts
Warts appear as raised, rough-textured, grayish growths that will vary in different sizes from a pinhead to large masses. Warts are viral infections that will usually appear on the skin, but they can also appear on the genitals or in the rectum, urethra, your bladder, or even on your mouth. When you see a wart start showing on your skin, the virus usually will enter through a cut, crack, or a scratch and incubates a few months before erupting into a wart.
Most of these warts will go away on their own without any treatment however, warts that will appear on the genitals, around your fingernails, or on the palms or soles of your feet are particularly long-lasting and can be difficult to treat. In your children's case, warts will usually last a few months to a year, in adults, they commonly will last months to even years. Many people may never completely get rid of the warts and can be bothered by many recurrences throughout your life. The most common skin warts are the most prevalent type.
