What Causes Warts?
October 16, 2018
Warts are common benign skin growths that develop when a virus infects the skin. Warts can range a great deal in color, size, and appearance. Some are small, flat, and skin-colored, others are raised and dark. Warts can be flat and smooth, thick and bumpy, or project off the skin. They can also develop anywhere although they are most common on the hands, face, and feet. Don't believe the myth warts come from touching toads and frogs. This is not true and likely got started because children get warts more often than adults. Here's what really causes warts.
