Warts are rough and hard nodules and are caused by a virus. This virus causes the skin to grow too quickly and this causes warts. The shape of a wart looks a bit like a cauliflower. Warts can be found in various different places, but are most common on the hands and feet. It\u2019s also possible to suffer from genital warts, water warts and skin tags.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"Which symptoms can I expect with warts?","content":"
Warts don\u2019t itch and usually don\u2019t hurt. Foot warts can hurt when standing or walking. This is because the wart is then pressed into the sole of your foot.<\/p>\n
We recommend you contact your GP if your warts are bothering you, or if they are particularly painful. Your GP can treat the wart, prescribe an ointment or do both. Your GP will also be able to assess whether or not it\u2019s a harmless wart. So even when in doubt, we recommend you contact your GP.<\/p>\n"}],"original_post_id":"2_119","disable_sync":false},"yoast_head":"\n
