Well, that's just a story. Warts are caused by a virus that gets into your skin. They're usually skin-colored and feel rough to the touch, but they can also be dark, flat, and smooth. The two most common warts. Common warts usually grow around your fingernails, on your fingers, and on the backs of your hands.
People usually find foot warts on the bottoms of their feet.
These warts can hurt-they sometimes make you feel like you have a stone in your shoe. Not everyone gets them. Some people get warts because they've been around the virus a lot. And it's easier to get a wart virus if your skin is already hurt. Some people are just more likely to catch the wart virus than others, just like some people catch colds more often.
