In a way warts look like zits. It’s true. They’re not so red. But then again zits aren’t that red when you put makeup over them. They are generally caused by the HPV virus, and generally speaking you either have to burn or freeze them off which always leaves a little change in pigmentation and scarring in general. Obviously, the wart itself is worse, or at least I personally think so. There are 5 types, and though the most common is the common wart, they have smooth flat warts, genital warts, knee and hand warts, filform warts, plantar warts, mosaic warts, and otherwise.

Some actually go away on their own, but the doctor’s methods are never fun. Acne can cause scarring, and it’s not fun it seems. But in a way, I was always glad that I never had to deal with warts. The HPV virus has also been known to mutate into the treeman incident. So it makes me wonder if the common acne treatment known as salicylic acid could also work on even stubborn warts. But who really knows with that. You would have to have a higher concentration at least theoretically speaking. But it could have an effect.
