Brief Answer: Blood vessels in fragile skin.Prevent spreading,sa Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for using HCM. I went through the query and understood your concern. I hope the lesion is diagnosed after examination by a doctor. Relax. With prolonged water exposure the wet skin becomes softened and fragile and at your age the tiny blood vessels are visualized to look like spider net. In very rare condition due to increased metabolic activity of the site the spider net like appearance may be pathological. So that needs to be treated based on diagnosis. The chance of spreading is more common at your age group and during shower / bath; hence avoid direct contact with warts (your own warts). After shower and always Keep your feet clean and dry. Change your shoes and socks daily. Don't go barefoot in public areas. Don't pick at warts For management wart medications with salicylic acid are available that destroys and peels off layers of infected skin a little bit at a time. Wash the site, soak the wart for up to 20 minutes, gently remove dead tissue with a pumice stone and apply the medication. This will help in removing wart. I hope this information helps in management of your wart. Feel free to ask if any further related query and I will be glad to answer them . Wish you good health and faster recovery. Regards
