Warts are a type of infection caused by viruses in the human papillomavirus (HPV) family. There are more than 100 types of HPV viruses. Warts can grow on all parts of the body. Some people are more naturally resistant to the HPV viruses and don't seem to get warts as easily as other people.  Because they are contagious, warts are a particular problem for children who tend to touch each other and objects liberally.

The underside of a wart is smooth and round, and the entire wart is confined to the epidermis -- the outermost layer of the skin. There are no 'roots'!

Even without roots, warts can be difficult to destroy.

Warts will not leaves scars, though some of the more aggressive wart therapies have been known to do so.

Because they are infections caused by viruses, warts are among the most common of all childhood skin conditions. They are spread when the virus touches a part of the skin where the outer protective layer is broken, either by minor trauma or by moisture. This happens most commonly on the fingers, elbows, knees, and the bottoms of the feet. Warts on the bottom of the feet are called plantar warts - named for the plantar surface (sole) of the foot.
