warts, and most of them are harmless, but due to their unsightly appearance,
they need to be treated. Warts are caused by HPV infection. Through cuts or
sores on the skin, the virus enters the upper layers of the skin and causes
infections in the layers that appear as "warts". Warts can take many
forms. A blister or rash, a skin bump in the form of a cluster of black or
brown, flat or thread-like bumps.
