    INTRODUCTION

    Warts or Verrucae are skin growths caused by Infection of the skin by Human Papilloma
    Virus (HPV) . Some varieties of HPV infect the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) and
    stimulate rapid growth of cells giving rise to warts. HPV may be transmitted by direct or
    close contact with infected individual. An infected individual may spread infection to other
    areas of his/her body by touch. Infection is also known to spread through contact with
    infected materials such as towels/ razors etc. HPV usually gains entry into the skin through
    minor cuts/ breaks. Genital warts spread by skin to skin contact as well as by genital , oral
    and sexual contact. Exposure to HPV does not necessarily result in appearance of warts.
    Individuals at higher risk for developing warts include children and young adults, persons
    with lowered/ compromised immunity such as those with HIV , persons on immuno-
    suppressive drugs such as organ transplant patients. Different types of warts are:

    Common warts/ Verruca Vulgaris

    Appear as skin colored, fleshy, firm papules with rough surface. Common sites are dorsum
    of hands, fingers etc.

    Plain warts

    Appear as skin colored smooth papular lesions. Common sited are face, dorsum of hands

    Filiform warts

    Appear as finger like projections with rough surface. Common sites are neck, face , scalp

    Plantar Warts found on the plantar surface(sole) of foot as a skin colored area with an
    irregular surface. These may be painful on pressure.
    Genital warts present as a mass of verrucous tissue in the genital area , prepuce, vagina,
    anal /peri-anal area. Significantly genital warts may be transmitted to mouth, tongue, lips
    of a patient by oral- sexual contact

    Warts are usually asymptomatic. At times plantar warts may be tender on pressure due to
    pressure on an underlying nerve. Genital warts may cause itching, pain, vaginal discharge,
    burning and bleeding

    CASE

    An 18 year old male patient presented with bilateral verrucous lesions on extensor surface
    of both forearms and dorsum of both hands since several months. Warts were more
