Warts are caused by viruses, specifically HPV (human papillomavirus). The virus causes keratin, which is a hard protein on the top layer of the skin, to grow too fast. Warts are not the same as moles. Moles are typically dark while warts are often the same color as the person's skin. The appearance of a wart can vary depending where it is on the body and how thick the skin is. A wart that is located on the sole of the foot is known as a verruca. Contents of this article: Causes.
âPeople get warts from other people with warts, they don't get them from frogs and toads,â says Robert Brodell, MD, a dermatologist in Warren, Ohio. âThe most common way is direct skin-to-skin contact, such as shaking hands with someone who has warts on their hand. You can also get the virus from inanimate objects, like towels that have been used by someone with a wart.â The viruses are more likely to cause warts when they come in contact with skin that is damaged or cut. Getting a small scrape or biting fingernails may bring on wart. Similarly, cuts and nicks from shaving can provide an avenue for infection. This explains why men may have warts in the beard area, while women often have them appear on the legs.
