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.
The viruses that cause warts are members of the human papilloma virus (HPV) family. Warts are not cancerous but some strains of HPV, usually not associated with warts, have been linked with cancer formation. Warts are contagious from person to person and from one area of the body to another on the same person.
