Viral Warts
Viral Wart is a type of skin infection, usually featured by raised surface, caused by HPV. They are infectious through direct or indirect contact from person to person, and the chance of infecting increases when there are wounds, when immunity drops, or when skin weakens due to UV damage and aging. Wart is a common skin infection and can occur on face, neck, the back of the hand or arms and legs. They are not related to sexually transmitted disease and do not cause cancer.
Plane Warts:
Commonly raised, brownish in colour with a clear border. They tend to grow in a relatively larger number but are smaller and smoother. Possible spreading to other parts of the skin if scratched. They are not harmful but infectious.
Common warts have a rough, raised texture and typically grow on easily damaged skin, such as fingers, toes, backs of hands, knees, and around nails. They can be very persistent, sometimes requiring a combination of treatments for successful eradication.
This type of wart growth is on the bottom of the foot (sole), and is usually relatively smooth. Each individual wart is separate and round in shape. Because of the pressure from walking, they grow inward into the skin, causing pain and discomfort when walking.
In general, moles do not heal on their own, especially for people with weaker immune systems. In some cases, they may even grow larger and multiply. Most people have a few small moles on their skin that grow slowly and become larger over time. Often, using improper removal methods, such as piercing or squeezing, can lead to infection and spread to other areas of the skin. However, some people with healthy skin and strong immunity may be able to avoid getting moles or even heal them automatically after they appear.
When moles appear, they often start as small, rounded bumps that gradually enlarge, accompanied by itching sensations. In some cases, large, rough, and hard moles may develop, with different colors and textures compared to normal skin, and they may bleed easily.
Although some common moles and flat moles only affect appearance and do not directly harm health, they can still spread to other skin areas and infect others if not removed promptly. If left untreated, moles can become larger and more difficult to treat, and may even leave larger scars after treatment. Therefore, it is best to remove moles as soon as possible after discovering them.
