Warts are noncancerous growths caused by an infection of the top layers of the skin by the human papilloma virus. There are several different types of wart and their appearance varies depending on their location.
Transmission of warts occurs by means of physical contact with contaminated object. Whenever the skin barrier gets disrupted due to trauma or friction and the virus comes in contact with such surface leads to development of lesion at that site.
