Under a wart, there is typically a thickened area of skin formed by an overgrowth of keratin, the protein that makes up the outer layer of the skin. Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can contain small blood vessels that may appear as tiny black dots. Beneath the wart, the skin may show signs of irritation or inflammation due to the virus's effect on the skin cells. Overall, warts are benign growths that usually do not involve deeper layers of tissue.

Can you heal a wart with a Band-Aid?

Yes, you can heal a wart with a Band-Aid, but not in the way you would think. If you use a traditional type of Band-Aid (with the pad in the center), do not place the pad over the wart, but cover the wart with the sticky part of the Band-Aid. More effective than a Band-Aid, however, is Scotch tape. Believe it or not if, you cover a wart with cellotape and leave it on for several days, the wart will drop off or dissolve. You may have noticed that if you ever leave a bandage on too long, the skin under the bandage goes white and loose. This is what happens to the wart, and then it disappears.
