Warts, HPV, TreatmentAbstract
Viral warts are caused by HPV infection and result in the formation of benign proliferative lesions in humans. The diagnosis of viral warts is relatively simple and can be made on the basis of lesion characteristics, physical examination, laboratory tests and histopathology. Clinically, warts can be classified as common warts, flat warts, plantar warts, condyloma acuminatum and epidermodysplasia verruciformis. As warts tend to recur during treatment, a combination of treatments is more likely to prevent recurrence. This article is a review of advances in the treatment of warts. The aim of this article is to provide guidance to more dermatology clinicians to better understand the optimal choice of clinical treatment for warts.
