• here are five kinds of warts.  They look different and form on different parts of the body.
• Common warts      grow most often on the  hands, but they may be anywhere on the body. They are rough, shaped like a  dome, and gray-brown in color.
• Plantar warts      grow on the soles of the  feet. They look like hard, thick patches of skin with dark specks. Plantar  warts may cause pain when you walk, and you may feel like you are stepping on a  pebble.

• Filiform warts      usually grow around the mouth, nose, or beard area. They are the  same color as your skin and have growths that look like threads sticking out of  them.
