FINGER WARTS

Finger warts are viral infections that settle and grow on the fingers' upper layer of skin. The causative agent of the infection is the HPV virus.

Finger warts occur when the human papillomavirus (HPV) enters the upper layer of the skin and multiplies and grows. HPV can usually enter the skin via a small wound or scratch.

Finger warts spread when the virus is transmitted directly or indirectly from one person to another. This usually happens through skin-to-skin contact, shared items, manicure-pedicure tools, or walking in damp places (like swimming pools, gyms) where the virus is present.

Finger warts are usually painless and appear on the finger as a small, hard, rough corn. They can often be confused with corns. In some cases, the wart can disrupt the normal growth of the finger, causing deformity and pain. Sometimes, warts can bleed if they get damaged.

Yes, finger warts can be seen in all ages and genders. However, children and adolescents, those with a weak immune system, and those who frequently wound their hands are at higher risk.

Finger warts are generally not dangerous, but if left untreated, they can cause pain and discomfort. In some cases, warts can cause finger deformation and create cosmetic problems.

The treatment of finger warts usually involves topical drugs, freezing (cryotherapy), laser therapy, or surgical removal of the wart. An experienced doctor should decide which treatment to apply.

Home treatments generally include over-the-counter topical wart treatments. These contain an acid that peels the wart, thereby killing the virus. However, it can take several weeks or months for these treatments to be successful, and warts often recur, as topical treatments can't treat the wart deeply.

Yes, as with all warts, finger warts can recur. Even if the wart is treated, HPV can remain under the skin and may cause another wart to form after a certain time. The chance of recurrence decreases if the immune system is strengthened and the viral load on the skin is reduced through effective treatment.

To protect yourself from finger warts, wash your hands regularly, use a bandage on cuts and scratches, avoid using other people's personal items and manicure-pedicure tools, and wear slippers in common areas (like gyms, swimming pools).
