Wart pits are caused by a type of bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus, which is commonly found on the skin of people with eczema, psoriasis and other skin conditions. Warts can also occur on other parts of the body, such as the ears, nose, mouth and genitals.

How long does it take for a seed wart to go away?
Nearly two-thirds of warts resolve on their own over several years, according to researchers. Warts that heal on their own tend to not leave scars. It can take a long time for the virus to leave the body and for any remaining warts to disappear.
Warts can be treated with antibiotics, topical creams and ointments, as well as surgery to remove the wart. If a wart is left untreated, it can become infected and spread to other parts of your body, including your eyes, nose, mouth and genitals.
Do seed warts have roots?
The small red or black dots that have led to this idea are, in fact, the roots and seeds of the wart. They are not attached to the bone, and they do not grow in the same way as a normal wart does. The most common symptom is pain. This pain is usually felt on the inside of your foot.
It may also be felt in your calf, knee, or ankle. If you have pain in these areas, you should see your doctor as soon as possible to rule out other possible causes for your pain, such as an infection or an injury.
You should also see a dermatologist if you are experiencing any other symptoms that may be related to your wart (such as redness, swelling, itching, pain). If your symptoms are severe enough to cause you to miss work or school, it is important that you seek medical attention immediately.
How does duct tape get rid of seed warts?
When using duct tape for warts, apply a small piece of duct tape directly to the wart once every 4 to 7 days, then remove the tape, clean the area with soap and water, and remove the dead skin using an emery board. After 12 hours, apply another piece of tape. This cycle can be repeated for 4 to 6 weeks.
What happens if you cut a seed wart?
Cutting the wart off won’t cure the core infection, and if you do it wrong you can make the situation worse and increase your risk of spreading the infection to other parts of your body.

Can you dig out a seed wart?
Don’t pick or touch the wart to avoid spreading it to other parts of your body. You should wash your hands after applying medication to the wart. Change your socks and wash your feet if you have a seed wart on the bottom of your foot.
