The virus named "Human papillomavirus (HPV)" is the reason of wart appearing. It is rapid proliferation of the skin cells, resulting in the development of benign lumps. There are over 70 different subtypes of HPV that cause warts.




Normally a virus caused by direct touch of touched a object that has been touched by the virus. Dr schols wart remover works good or take a potato and cut 1/2 teaspoon and put it on the wart wrap it at night and wait a week
