As a rule, warts are small infections that appear on the surface of the skin. A wart usually forms a small bump on the skin, although some types are flush with the surface of the skin. Warts may be found alone, but can also be spread or clustered over an area of skin. Warts can range in color from white or pale yellow to pink or brown. Often wart symptoms will include a cauliflower appearance, with small clumps of white on them. Also look for tiny black spots, known as "wart seeds" or "capillary loops", which are actually little clotted blood vessels. Symptoms and signs of Wart in TCM include:
