Q20. Does my baby have a wart?
A20. It is very rare for a baby to develop a wart. However, that is not to say that babies never get them and so it may be possible that your baby has developed one. A wart is a small, raised growth of skin which matches the colour of your baby’s skin and has a grainy texture. Some warts contain little black dots and are known as ‘seed warts’. A common wart usually develops on the hands, although they can develop on other areas of the body. Find out more in our warts section.
