here are many different types of warts. In fact, scientists have identified more than 100 unique types of the HPV, otherwise known as the virus that causes warts.
Almost all types of HPV cause warts, but the most common types include:
Foot warts (plantar warts) – grow on the soles of feet.
Common warts – usually found on the backs of hands, fingers, and toes.
Flat warts – most often appear on the face, thighs, or arms.
Filiform warts – grow around the mouth or nose and sometimes on the neck or under the chin.
Periungual warts – grow under and around the toenails and fingernails.
Though the warts mentioned above are the most common, with over 100 different types of warts, it can be hard to distinguish one from the other. This is why it’s important to visit a board-certified dermatologist for a thorough skin evaluation and diagnosis.
