Although each type of wart has distinct characteristics, all warts have similar patterns and appearances, which help to distinguish them from other growths and conditions. Always confirm with your doctor that your skin growth is not cancer.

General signs and symptoms of warts are:

Tiny growths that grow continuously.

Growths with rough surfaces.

Growths with clearly defined borders.

Growths which are the same color as the skin (with the exception of Flat and Common warts).

Smaller growths which form a circle around one central, usually larger growth.

Painless areas of thickened skin.
