Warts are a viral infection in the epidermal layers of the skin and are thought to be transmissible through direct contact or by walking barefooted in communal pools or showers. Warts may spread and grow in size to press on nerve endings in the skin to
become quite painful. Their removal may be facilitated by the use of ‘wart-paints’ available from any pharmacy, or may be frozen off or surgically curetted a clinic procedure. On many occasions compounded wart preparations are best as they are stronger and facilitate removal quicker without being overly invasive. They can be stubborn however and treatment sooner rather than later is best as with most virus they can spread quickly as well as to other family members/friends
Warts can usually be differentiated from corns by squeezing them which will be painful. On the other hand corns will be painful with direct pressure.
