   When most people think of diseases, they will think of chronic cancers or incurable problems that happen inside the body. What most people don’t know is that the largest receptor to such diseases is the same one that protects us from so many. The skin is one of the best defenses against all forms of bacteria but it itself is susceptible to such diseases. These diseases can range from deadly cancers to parasitic viruses such as warts. Skin cancer is growing to become one of the most prevalent cancers all around the world, as it shares a common activator, the sun.

   The skin itself is typically very durable, but cracks and cuts can leave the skin open to infection. One of these diseases that crawl their way into your vulnerable fission's of the skin is warts. Everyone has heart of warts, and although they can range from a variety of sub diseases the most common is Verruca Vulgaris, which is just the scientific term for the common wart. The knowledge to how warts are picked up is typically muddied by rumors and presumptions. The answer is simple warts occur in the top layer of the skin, usually picked up by bacteria on a scratch of skin. It uses the cells around it and causes a rapid growth on the outer layer of skin. This produces the common look of the wart.

   Warts are actually apart of the HPV family of diseases, and there are around one hundred different types of wart viruses. Warts being a parasitic virus can last a long time and typically leach of the bloodstream of its host. Often creating connections into the blood vein that leave unsightly black looking dots all around the wart. Typically the removal of warts isn’t difficult, freezing or burning the cells of the skin where the wart is housed can do the trick. You might even get lucky and have your body’s immune system get rid of it for you. Prevention is typical common sense, good hygiene and a healthy immune system are the best prevention of warts, along with keeping your open wounds covered.
