‘Warts’ are skin growths that appear when a virus infects the top layer of the skin.

👉 Viruses that cause warts are called human papillomavirus (HPV)

👉 Warts are often skin-colored and feel rough, but they can be dark (brown or gray-black), flat, and smooth.

👉 Warts can spread from person to person. You can get warts from touching a wart on someone’s body. Some people get a wart after touching something that another person’s wart touched, such as a towel. It often takes a few months for warts to grow large enough to see.

👉 A qualified dermatologist can diagnose a wart and differentiate it from other similar skin disorders like corns and calluses.

👉 Treatment options include liquid nitrogen spray, laser surgery, electrocautery, topical antiviral lotions and immunotherapy.

👉Many people suffer from a condition called as ‘Hyperhidrosis’. It means excessive sweating.

👉Localised hyperhidrosis can affect the underarms, palms and soles and scalp.

👉Axillary hyperhidrosis leads to sweaty underarms, irrespective of the weather.

👉Body odour, fungal and bacterial infections, loss of self confidence, anxiety and emotional discomfort are some of the possible risks

👉 A dermatologist can identify the underlying cause and advise an appropriate treatment

👉Treatments include anti perspiration lotions, Botox and microneedling radio frequency
