Undoubtedly, the appearance of any neoplasm on the body is rather unpleasant. Especially if it is a wart that spoils the appearance of a person. Panic is also fueled by a natural fear of cancer. However, are warts with black dots or other types of formations so dangerous?
Definition
A wart is a neoplasm on the human body, which is usually small in size. It may be flat or bulge above the skin, depending on the variety. Sometimes formations can degenerate into malignant ones, so it is necessary to monitor the condition of the growth. When a wart with black dots is found, it is necessary to carefully examine it in order to find out the nature of its origin.
Classification
The following main types of warts are distinguished:
- Ordinary - the most common species, they occur in 60% of all cases. They have the appearance of a round nodule that rises above the level of the skin and does not hurt. Most often located on the hands.
- Solar growths are very painful and require immediate treatment, as they cause great discomfort when walking.
- Youthful warts look like flat round plaques that are covered on top with a keratinized layer of skin. The location can be varied, but they are able to deliver special discomfort, located under the nails.
- "Butcher's warts" owe their name to the reason they appeared. It is noticed that people who often come into contact with raw meat have growths of a brown tint, which are very painful.
- Genital warts are benign growths that look like small peaks of lighter shades. Most often they can be found on the mucous membranes, lips, genitals, tongue, inside of the cheeks. Such formations do not bring any discomfort, except for aesthetic.
- Filamentous have an elongated appearance and are found in skin folds. Obese people are most often affected by such pathological changes.
- Genile warts, or seborrheic keratosis, do not have a viral origin, like all other varieties. They are formed from the keratinized upper layer of the skin. Over time, the pink soft growth turns into a hard wart, which has a rough surface and a dark tint.
All varieties differ in appearance and origin. Depending on the type, the correct treatment of the pathology is selected.
Causes of warts
Educationappear due to the presence in the body of HPV - papillomavirus. He can enter in the following ways:
- through contact with an infected person;
- when touching contaminated objects, they can be manicure accessories, combs, razors;
- on contact with contaminated surfaces.
Warts can form against the background of reduced immunity, with malfunctions of the nervous system, emotional overstrain. If a person does not have such prerequisites, then the body is able to drown out the actions of the virus on its own.
Varieties of black warts
Dots of dark color on the surface may indicate blockage of capillaries and blood ingress into the formation. In addition, such spots can form when the wart is mechanically damaged and dirt gets inside. This often happens with growths on the legs or hands.
If a wart appears with a black dot inside, then in most cases this indicates that the formation is becoming more complex. At the beginning of development, the roots of the growth are flesh-colored and invisible to the human eye. However, as the roots grow, they fill with blood vessels, which affect the color of the neoplasm. It also happens that the roots turn black due to the death of the blood vessels that feed them.
Reasons for blackening of education
If black dots appear on the wart, then this may be due to such reasons:
- decreased immunity as a result of taking any medicationdrugs;
- frequent visits to public places such as sauna, bath, swimming pool, sports club;
- the stage of exacerbation of a chronic disease;
- natural wart death;
- stressful situations.
If initially black growths appeared on the body that have a cracked structure, then most likely we are talking about senile warts that do not pose a threat to he alth.
What is the danger?
The warts themselves do not pose a threat to he alth until the appearance of black dots inside. When the growth is malignant, the following symptoms can be observed:
- discomfort when touching the wart;
- rough surface or peeling of the skin of the formation itself and tissues around;
- severe itching that cannot be ignored, as a result of which a person combs the growth until it bleeds;
- suppuration and bleeding;
- the wart began to change its color dramatically;
- appearance of growth in the vulva;
- the number of formations grows with time;
- wart has fuzzy borders, non-uniform color and structure.
In some cases, a wart with black dots may die off and fall off. If it has turned black and does not fall off, then this is a reason to consult a dermatologist.

Warts on the finger with or without black dots can skillfully disguise themselves as other neoplasms, such aslike:
