Wart Picture
Warts are small, benign growths caused by a viral infection of the skin or mucous
membrane. The virus infects the surface layer. 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.
