Wart on Human Skin

Wart on Human Skin
Warts, caused by the human papillomavirus, are generally harmless, benign tumors on the surface of the skin. Occasionally painful when they occur on the feet (plantar warts), warts can be treated with various medications or removed using freezing, burning, X rays, or surgery.
