Is it normal to get warts?

FAQ

Yes, it is normal to get warts. Warts are a common skin condition caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a virus that infects the top layer of skin and can cause the skin to grow abnormally, resulting in a wart.

Warts are more common in children and teenagers, but anyone can get them. They can appear anywhere on the body, but are most commonly found on the hands, feet, and face.

There are many different types of warts, including common warts, plantar warts, flat warts, and genital warts. While some warts may go away on their own over time, others may require treatment from a healthcare provider. If you have concerns about a wart or any other skin condition, it is always a good idea to talk to your healthcare provider.
