what is 'warts - viral infection of skin '?
Definition for warts
A wart is generally a small, rough tumour, typically on hands and feet, that resembles a cauliflower.
more
A wart is generally a small, rough tumour, typically on hands and feet, that resembles a cauliflower. Warts are common, and are caused by a viral infection, specifically by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They typically disappear after a few months but can last for years and can recur. A few papillomaviruses are known to cause cancer. Certain types of warts, depending on location and cause, can be contagious from region to region, but are not transferable between species.
