Warts can be cosmetically bothersome and occasionally a source of pain.
HPV is a DNA virus, with more than 60 types identified. It is epitheliotropic and causes tumors of the epidermis. At least five types are potentially oncogenic, with two implicated in cervical carcinoma and three in squamous cell carcinoma. Warts can be transmitted by direct contact or by autoinoculation. Young people have a high frequency of warts.
