Expert Wart Removal in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles

What are Warts?

Warts are small, non-cancerous skin growths that are typically skin-colored. The appearance of warts varies depending on their location on the body. Warts can also have a darker and flatter appearance. A sub-type of warts called “plantar warts” develop on the soles of the feet; because of their location, pressure from weight-bearing activities pushes these warts back into the skin, often causing pain and discomfort.

What Causes Warts?

The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a viral infection in the epidermis (the skin’s top layer) that causes warts. HPV is contagious, which means that people can contract warts from skin-to-skin contact with other people, and sometimes from indirect contact. Though, there is a relatively small risk of contracting hand and foot warts from contact with surfaces.
