Abstract
Warts are benign intraepidermal lesions caused by human papillomavirus infection that
commonly affects children and adolescents. The 4 most frequent types of cutaneous
warts are common warts, plantar warts, flat warts, and genital warts. Although they rarely
pose a serious health problem, warts can result in physical impairment and psychosocial
discomfort, but as cutaneous warts resolve spontaneously and available treatments
often fail, family physicians and patients may consider not invasive therapy or a
wait-and-see strategy.
