Common warts, plantar warts, and genital warts. These are usually raised (with or without visible "black and red dots") and can be anywhere. Common warts occur on the fingers, back of hands, arms, top of feet and other areas of the body.

• Genital warts

Common warts are noncancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which stimulates the rapid growth of cells of the outer layer of your skin. More than 60 types of HPV occur.

Some types of HPV tend to cause warts on your skin. Common warts usually occur on your hands, fingers or near your fingernails. Other types of HPV tend to cause warts in other places:

• Plantar warts. These occur on the soles of your feet. They usually look like flesh-colored or light brown lumps with tiny black dots in them. These dots are small, clotted blood vessels.
• Genital warts. These are among the most common types of sexually transmitted diseases. They can appear on your genitals, in your pubic area or in your anal canal. In women, genital warts can also grow inside the vagina.
• Flat warts. These warts are smaller and smoother than other warts. They generally occur on your face or, if you're a woman, on your legs. They're more common in children and teens than in adults.

• Genital warts

Signs and symptoms
