Warts are harmless skin growths caused by a virus.  They have a rough surface on which tiny dark specks may be seen.  They may grown on any part of the body and their appearance depends on their location.  Warts in the genital or rectal area have a wet appearance and have been said to look lie cauliflower.  They are highly contagious and you should consult your doctor immediately to remove them.
