Warts, as discussed above, are the extra benign growths found on different areas of the body.

Warts can appear anywhere on the skin and mostly are noticed on the hands and feet. Warts are highly contagious, they spread to other areas of the skin and even spread to others through sharing towels, razors and others. Warts usually tend to disappear on their own within a span of 2 to 5 years without any treatment. Few warts tend to rise on genitals and such types can also be painful.
