The Hidden Reason Behind Warts

Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which infects the top layer of the skin and causes it to grow rapidly, resulting in a wart. The virus is contagious and can be spread through direct contact with an infected person or by touching surfaces that have been in contact with the virus. Individuals with a weakened immune system are more susceptible to developing warts, as their bodies may have difficulty fighting off the virus.
