Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). This affects the top layer of skin, causing skin growths that turn into warts.

Warts only grow on the top layer of skin. Warts that grow deeper displace the dermis instead of growing into it.

Warts are contagious, despite what some people may have told you. Warts may appear on different parts of the body including the hands, feet, arms, legs, face and other areas. Warts may differ in appearance depending on the type of wart and its location.

Treatment may also vary depending on the location of the wart and how many warts are present. Understanding warts and what causes them is important in preventing the skin condition.

It is believed that the main anti-viral component of garlic, a substance known as allicin, is the chemical which is working on warts, but little research to substantiate this claim has been done.

(The study, in the August 2011 issue of the British Journal of Dermatology, combined and reanalyzed data from a number of previous studies.) Salicylic acid costs little, has minimal side effects, and comes in various over-the-counter preparations, including liquids, gels, and patches. Concentrations range from 17% to 40% (stronger concentrations should be used only for warts on thicker skin).

How to apply?
 To treat a wart, soak it for 10 to 15 minutes (you can do this in the shower or bath), file away the dead warty skin with an emery board or pumice stone, and apply the salicylic acid. Do this once or twice a day for 12 weeks. Warts in thick skin, like the bottom of the foot, may respond best to a patch that stays in place for several days. Continuing treatment for a week or two after the wart goes away may help prevent recurrence.
