Types of warts
There are a few different types of warts. Here are some of the most common types:
Common warts (called verruca vulgaris) are raised and rough. They usually grow on the fingers and hands. You can have just one or develop several separate ones at once. They can also have tiny black or red dots, which represent small blood vessels in the wart.
Foot warts (called plantar warts) are flat and rough. They usually grow on the soles of the feet. They can cause pain with walking, depending on where they are on the foot and how big they are. They tend to grow in clusters. Like common warts, they can have tiny black or red dots where the blood vessels are.
Flat warts are flat and smooth. They are also smaller than other warts. They are common on the beard area and legs (from shaving). They tend to appear in their dozens.
No matter which type of wart you have, the color can vary depending on the person, and their underlying skin tone. Warts can be any color, from white to pink, tan, or brown.
