Warts are benign growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). While common across all age groups, they are most frequently seen in adolescents. Warts can appear anywhere on the body, but they are most often found on areas prone to friction or trauma, such as the hands, elbows, and knees.
Typically characterized by a rough texture and sometimes tiny black dots, warts form when HPV triggers an overgrowth of skin cells. While warts are generally harmless and can go away on their own, they can be uncomfortable and affect your self-confidence. Warts spread through direct contact with an infected person or indirectly via shared objects, such as towels or gym equipment.
