The virus that causes common warts, human papillomavirus (HPV), is contagious. Children and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk of contracting HPV, which can be spread through skin-to-skin contact or through contact with an object or surface carrying the virus. The risk of contracting HPV is especially high in warm, wet conditions, such as those found at a swimming pool or in a locker room.u003csupu003eu003ca href=u0022https://adoctor.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=4781u0026amp;action=edit#fn4u0022u003e[4]u003c/au003eu003c/supu003e

Common warts are caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), which is an umbrella term for over 100 types of viruses.
