This is a fun educational story about a very common skin concern; Warts! HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) is the virus that causes different types of warts and there are numerous types of HPV. The virus is contracted through contact. This particular story is about warts on the bottom of the feet that are called Plantar Warts. Some of us have strong immune systems in which we are able to fight off the viruses we come in contact with. While others have to undergo multiple treatments. Althought warts pose no harm, no one wants them around. They are contagious and are sometimes difficult to treat. Contrary to popular belief, you cannot catch warts from frogs or warthogs:-)
