Can you identify different types of warts by looking at pictures?

MedicineNet publishes pictures identifying several types of common warts. The website features pictures of dome-shaped, plantar, periungual, flat and filiform warts, among others, along with information to help identify the warts. Many warts appear on the body and disappear on their own without treatment, notes MedicineNet.

Over-the-counter treatments are helpful for some types of warts, while others may require prescription medication or removal by a medical professional, reports MedicineNet. Doctors may burn warts off using an electric needle or freeze them off with liquid nitrogen. Laser surgery or other surgical removal is sometimes necessary for very large warts or warts that cause discomfort.
