Warts - Causes

The human papillomavirus is the primary culprit in the development of warts. There are more than 100 types of the human papillomavirus, and most of them can cause warts on the skin. Some types of the human papillomavirus cause genital warts, which may be associated with cervical cancer in women.

The virus spreads through direct contact, and that is why warts spread from person to person as well as from one body part to another in the same person. The virus finds its way into the body through skin that is moist, cracked or peeling. A site of recent injury is another common entry-point for the virus. Once the virus enters the body, the incubation period begins (during which the virus remains dormant), which can most often range from one to eight months. After this period, the warts begin to appear.

Virus that has been shed recently remains alive in a warm, moist environment such as cellars, locker rooms, etc. There are numerous ways in which the virus can spread, and these include:

  • From one part of the body to another (in the same individual)
  • Direct contact with someone else's wart
  • Contact with a towel or some other object used by someone who has a wart
  • Genital contact - vaginal/anal/oral sex (for genital warts)

Testimonials

I had a rare wart on my lip corner which got cured with the treatment from Dr Batra's, Bhubaneswar. For over 2 years I had tried various treatments and nothing worked to heal it. Finally, I and my husband decided to try the homeopathy treatment of Dr Batra's. At the first visit they were genuinely concerned about this rare wart as it may take long time to cure from the root. As advised, we took the treatment subscription for 1 year. There were bi-weekly doctor visits. Dr Batra's and the doctor doing my treatment gave proper attention and care. The treatment started giving results after 3 months. But, sometimes the wart looked have reduced and after some days it looked same as before. Doctor changed my medicine regularly. My treatment for this rare wart also got attention from other experts in Dr Batra's as arranged by my doctor. Towards 10th month I could see the consistent progress in healing. Gradually the big swell disappeared from my lip corner and after 12 months it has healed completely. I thank Dr Batra's and doctor for their sincere effort and expertise.
