Side view diagrams of the most common forms of warts.
The common wart (Verruca vulgaris) is a raised wart with a rough surface. It is most common on hands, but can grow anywhere on the body.
The flat wart (Verruca plana) is a small, flattened wart with a smooth flesh-coloured surface. It is most common on the face, neck, hands, wrists and knees.
Filiform warts are long, thin, flesh-coloured warts, which project from the skin. They are usually found on the face, eyelids, neck or lips.
Plantar warts (verruca, Verruca plantaris) are warts found on the soles of the feet. The weight exerted on this area, causes the wart to grow inward covered by a thick, hard layer of skin.
