How to manage warts.

چکیده
Warts are caused by DNA-containing human papillomavirus (HPV). These viruses are found in the upper epidermis and cause squamous epithelial cell proliferation. At least 70 types of HPV exist, but some types tend to be more common in certain body areas. Common warts (on hands) are due mainly to HPV2 but also to types 1 and 4. Plantar warts also involve HPV 1, 2, or 4 with mosaic warts commonly caused by HPV2. Flat warts are mainly due to HPV types 3 and 10. The incubation period is probably many months.
