They are known to grow anywhere on the body and are most common amongst children as well as young adults. There are mainly five different kinds of warts that form on the body: common warts, plantar warts, flat warts, filiform warts and periungal warts. They may occur in different shapes and sizes, forming bumps with a rough surface; or they may even be flat and smooth. While for most cases, treatment is not required there are a number of effective remedies that can be employed in case the warts are painful and spread; or a person is extremely bothered about the way that they look. However, one of the most complicating factors is that the wart may even regrow after it has been removed. Some of the different medications that can be used as a remedy include imiquimod, which is a topical cream that helps the body’s immune system fight the wart virus by encouraging interferon production. There are many different procedures that can be used such as keratolysis of dead skin cells using salicylic acid, immune system modifiers and blistering agents.
