Overview
Warts are generally harmless growths that often go away on their own within 2 years. They can be contagious, but transmission from person to person is uncommon. Warts may be unsightly or cause discomfort, especially on the feet.
Possible Complications
- Spread of warts
- Return of warts that disappeared
- Minor scar formation if the wart is removed
- Formation of keloids after removal
If a wart is being treated professionally and does not seem to improve in a reasonable period of time, the growth should be excised and biopsied.
