A range of different types of wart have been identified, which differ in shape and site affected, as well as the type of human papillomavirus involved.[1] These include:
- Common wart (Verruca vulgaris): a raised wart with roughened surface, most common on hands and knees
- flat wart (Verruca plana): a small, smooth flattened wart, tan or flesh coloured, which can occur in large numbers; most common on the face, neck, hands, wrists and knees
- Filiform or digitate wart: a thread- or finger-like wart, most common on the face, especially near the eyelids and lips
- Plantar wart (verruca, Verruca pedis): a hard sometimes painful lump, often with multiple black specks in the center; usually only found on pressure points on the soles of the feet
- Mosaic wart: a group of tightly clustered plantar-type warts, commonly on the hands or soles of the feet
- Donkey wart (venereal wart, Condyloma acuminatum, Verruca acuminata)
