Common warts: common warts have the same color of the skin or tend to a reddish color, have a rough and wrinkled surface, a characteristic by which they can be recognized.
Plantar warts: appear only on the sole of the foot and inside, may present dark dots, which help distinguish them from calluses. They are usually softer than common warts.
Vulgar warts: vulgar warts are also called leeks. They have a yellowish-gray color and an irregular surface, due to the presence of so many reliefs. They are benign formations for which the same treatments are followed as for other types of warts (see "Health without medicines - Healing with natural medicines" - Librex).
