common both in children and adults. Warts are capable of
spreading, but they are usually harmless. They often
disappear spontaneously.
Warts come in various shapes and sizes and usually
appear as rough elevations on the skin. These elevations
appear more frequently on the fingers, elbows, knees,
face, and scalp. Those mat appear on the soles of the feet

sufferer is not able to walk properly.
