Warts are common skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They may appear on the hands, feet, face, or other areas of the body and can spread if left untreated.
Symptoms & Causes
Warts often appear as rough, raised bumps that may become painful or irritated depending on their location. HPV enters the skin through small cuts or breaks and can spread through direct contact.
