Different types of warts are caused by different viruses. The common human warts are caused by a family of viruses called human papilloma virus, HPV. Warts commonly occur in children and young adults, but may appear at any age. Their course is highly variable. Most resolve in months, some may last a many years. Warts are spread by touch and commonly appear at sites of trauma, on the hands, around the finger and toenails (periungual), and on the soles of the feet (plantar warts). Genital warts are sexually transmitted. Contrary to popular belief, warts do not have roots. The black dots often seen in the center of a wart are small clotted blood vessels in the wart. ZymaDerm4 represents a new breakthrough in treatment for common warts. ZymaDerm4 painlessly shrinks HPV warts until they disappear without scarring. Best of all, ZymaDerm4 contains no dangerous caustic chemicals that can burn or irritate normal skin and it is FDA approved as a homeopathic formula.
