Hand Wart

Hand Wart is the most common wart among plantar, flat and seed warts. Around 7-10% of the populace experience warts. A majority of people are not even aware of the existence of warts in other parts of the body, after having experienced hand warts themselves before. Hand warts are contagious, in the sense that they can be developed through direct contact with a person infected by HPV (Herpes Papilloma Virus). In addition to this, hand warts can also be caused by cuts in the hands, particularly at the back or near the fingers, as any cut or bruise attracts a skin opening for the virus to enter, thus making it susceptible to warts and other infection.
