📋Overview
These common lesions develop when the virus affects the top layer of skin, typically entering through tiny cuts or broken areas. While these growths are generally harmless, they are considered contagious and can spread through direct skin-to-skin contact or contact with contaminated surfaces.
The clinical presentation of these growths often depends on the specific viral subtype and the location of the infection on the body. Although they may appear at any age, they are frequently observed in children and young adults.
