Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain warts and their types and cause in general terms, relay treatment and prevention information from health bodies, describe vaccination against papillomaviruses, and route personal medical questions to clinicians.

A small, rough growth on the skin or mucous membranes caused by infection with human papillomaviruses, appearing as common warts on hands, plantar warts on feet, flat warts, filiform warts and anogenital warts, usually harmless and often clearing on their own but sometimes persistent or, with certain virus types, associated with precancerous changes; warts are treated with topical preparations, freezing or other procedures under clinical guidance and are described here in general terms.

What it is for: Skin growths from papillomavirus infection.

It can be explain types and cause; relay treatment information; describe vaccination; route personal questions.
