These can be flat or raised fleshy growths and are located in the genital or anal area. These warts are commonly spread by sexual contact. Health care personnel should treat venereal warts. Usually, one notices a bump containing red or black dots. Although plantar warts are sometimes painful when pressure is applied to the bottom of the foot, most warts do not hurt.
Warts are of no danger unless they become infected.
Most people have them treated for cosmetic reasons. Wart treatment depends upon the wart's location, its size, an individual's previous response to wart treatment, availability and cost of treatment, patient preference, side effects, and the time available to complete treatment. Treatment will generally be continued until the warts disappear. The clinician applies liquid nitrogen with a cotton- tipped applicator to the wart. The wart initially turns white and then resumes its normal skin color.
