Healthcommunities.com, Doctors Helping People Online for Over 10 years Common warts appear most often on the tops of the fingers and hands, usually along the cuticles, as rough, thick, cauliflowerlike papules that develop solitarily or in large numbers. Black dots, which are minute blood vessels, can be seen in them, especially after paring down some of the thickened skin. Small satellite warts may surround the original lesion because the virus is usually present in a one-centimeter radius surrounding the wart.
Many of the nonprescription wart remedies available at drug stores will remove simple warts from hands and fingers. These medications may be lotions, ointments, or plasters and work by chemically removing the skin that was affectedby the wart virus. The chemicals are strong... and should be used with care since they can remove healthy as well as infected skin. These solutions should be avoided by diabetics and those with cardiovascular or other circulatory disorders whose skin may be insensitive and not appreciate irritation.

In men, warts on the scrotum or shaft of the penis usually resemble the ordinary warts that occur on the hands. Under the foreskin and round the anus, they are usually a shiny pinkish-white. A lone wart may ... occur inside the opening of the urethra (‘pee hole’); here it will be a pinkish colour and may look speckled. An individual may have dozens of warts, or just one or two.
Getting warts on hands is very common. A wart occurs when areas of the skin grow faster than normal. What causes warts is a virus known as human papilloma virus (HPV). There are more than 60 types of the HPV virus.
Hand warts (verruca vulgaris) can grow anywhere on the hands, but usually occur where skin has been damaged in some way (e.g. picking or nail biting). This is a rough horny lesion varying in size from 1 mm–2cm in diameter.
