Warts
Warts are small, self-limited benign skin growths caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.
Warts are generally painless and can affect any part of the body. Because of being contagious, they may spread from one to another body area. They also can spread from person to person. It often takes a few months for warts to grow large enough to see.
Anyone can get warts. The virus also needs to have a point of entry into the skin.
