1) The infecting agent is the double-stranded DNA-containing human papilloma virus (HPV), with deep plantar warts being associated with HPV-1 and most other common warts elsewhere on the body being associated with HPV4. The VV, or common wart, is classically described as a white, firm, exophytic lesion with a stippled or papillary surface, and is found most commonly on the labial mucosa and vermilion border of the lips. All treatments for common warts attempt to destroy infected cells, with common approaches including liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy), topically applied acids, electrosurgery, cantharidin application, and laser ablation. |
