Are warts the initial stage of tumors? Actually they are skin tumors that are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus. Thus instead of knowing warts as tumors, you must be more acquainted of people referring it as viral infection. The HPV is also referred as the DNA virus which on the other hand imitates the double helical structure of the DNA. The direct attack of the virus is not on the epidermis but on the lower or bottom layer of the skin. The final effect is on the epidermis that comes to our vision and we see warts across your skin.



HPV are many

HPV is not a single virus. It has different types and thus warts are also not of a single kind. The warts differ in size, shape and potentiality to cause disorder in your body. Some warts do have the capacity to take the worse condition in the shape of cervical cancer. Though wart cancer doesn't take place every now and then, yet the chances cannot be completely washed away.

Warts and age-relation

As most of you always presumed warts to be coming out of your hands by now might have learned that warts actually are lined beneath the lower layer of the skin. We only get the results on the top layer of the skin. In the very same way, warts don't have any bar on the age. Anyone in their teens and adolescent period can become an easy victim of warts. Though the chances of getting affected after a certain age lower down but during young age, you all must have faced or will face the trouble of warts.

Touch me not

Touch me not should be the possible slogan appropriate to check the breakout and spread out of warts on your skin. Once you start touching the warts, you are increasing the scope of their multiplication. Similarly the skin contact between an infected and a non-infected person can result in the coming out of warts on the latter's skin.

It is safer to keep away from the infected person at least for that time being when his warts are fresh and can cause the problem. In no sense this will lead to discrimination and prejudice. It will rather secure safety and health and fight to keep warts away. The possible treatments you can make use of are the medicines available over the counter both in the topical and oral forms. The salicylic acid acts fast and superb.
