Overview
Warts are a very common skin condition that are caused by a number of different viruses from the human papillomavirus (HPV) family. The virus causes the affected skin to thicken abnormally, resulting in an overgrowth of the top layer. Flat warts tend to be small flesh-colored raised lesions. There may be many flat warts clustered in one place. Warts are contagious and can be spread on the affected individual's body by shaving or scratching.
