<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhat is that hard bump-like growth on my palm, you might wonder, looking at a wart. A wart is a growth seen on the skin of hands, feet, face, genitals and knees. It is caused by a virus, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), and is contagious ^{[1]<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
Warts are small, bumpy heaps on the skin. Mostly, symptoms are not present; however, in a few rare cases, there might be pain in the area where the wart is present. In more than half of the cases, warts resolve on their own, leaving behind just a small scar. Depending on the area of their presence and their internal arrangement of cells, they are classified into various types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>What Causes Warts?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA kind of virus called the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)^{[1]<\/sup><\/a> causes warts. These viruses reside in the upper layers of the skin but may even be found in the deeper layers. There are many types of HPV, but only a few can cause warts. When the defence mechanism or immunity of our skin cells is lowered, this virus is able to enter the skin cells to cause warts. They are commonly seen in people who have low immunity (possibly due to certain diseases or medication) and in those who handle meat. It is rarely seen in infants but is common in school-going children around the age of 12-16 years}^{[1]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
