Warts on hands are one of the most common reasons for people seeking wart treatment. Although they are usually harmless, they are a blemish on the skin that most people don't like to look at and, if there's one thing you look at a lot, it's your hands!
But, how do you get warts?
Warts are actually caused by a virus and you can get it by being exposed to the virus. This virus affects the skin cells and causes them to multiply faster than they normally should which results in the bumpy lump that we know of as a wart. How you catch this virus is somewhat of a mystery, but it is thought that it gets in through cracks in the skin. It may be that you have come in contact with someone that has warts, or it has been transmitted to you through a moist surface.
Warts on hands, elbows, knees, and ankles are usually the most common kind of wart - Verruca Vulgaris, or simply called the common wart. They are usually bumpy and scaly looking and may even have dark spots inside which are actually blood vessels. The virus that causes them is called the human papillomavirus and it hangs out in the bottom layer of your epidermis, causing the cells to become distorted and pushing them up which causes the skin to bump out. They actually grow in cylindrical patterns that binds together giving them the look of a mosaic.
One thing about warts is that you might try a treatment only to find warts returning. That's because you need to treat the virus that is causing them. You may be able to scrape off the upper layer of the wart but eventually it'll pop up again because the virus is still in the layers underneath. Therefore, treatment must be thoughtful and thorough.
