In Vata dominated Charmakeela- patient feels pricking type of pain,## 2. in Kapha domination it appears like nodule without changing the color of the skin, ## 3. in Pitta dominated Charmakeela due to vitiation of Rakta (blood), it appears blackish in color, dry, oily and hard in nature.## According to modern science, different types of warts have been identified, which are differing in shape and site, as well as the type of human papillomavirus involved. These include:- ## 1.Common wart (verruca vulgaris): A raised wart with roughened surface, most common on hands and knees## 2. 2. Flat wart (verruca plana): A small, smooth flattened wart, tan or flesh colored, which can occur in large numbers; most common on the face, neck, hands, wrists and knees.## 3.Filiform or digitate wart: A thread or finger-like wart, most common on the face, especially near the eyelids and lips.## 4.
