Warts are among the most common skin changes and affect people of all ages. Although they are usually harmless, they can be annoying in everyday life or cosmetically bothersome.
But how do warts actually develop – and how can you protect yourself from them?
How do warts develop?
Warts are benign skin growths caused by viruses – more specifically by human papillomaviruses (HPV).
These viruses enter the skin through small injuries or tiny cracks and trigger increased cell growth. The result is a raised, rough area of skin that we recognize as a wart.
Although warts can generally appear anywhere on the body, they are most commonly found on:
-
hands
-
fingers
-
soles of the feet
The reason: these areas often come into direct contact with surfaces on which the viruses can survive.
Where do you get infected?
Infection usually occurs in places where many people walk barefoot or where moisture accumulates.
Typical locations include:
-
swimming pools
-
saunas
-
changing rooms
-
gyms and sports facilities
In such environments, the skin is often softened by moisture, making it easier for viruses to penetrate.
Avoid these mistakes if you want to prevent warts
A few simple precautions can significantly reduce the risk.
Here are the most common mistakes – and how to avoid them:
-
Do not walk barefoot in swimming pools, saunas or changing rooms
HPV viruses are often waiting there for their next “host.”
Better: always wear flip-flops or shower shoes. -
Do not share towels or shoes
Wart viruses can survive on textiles.
Tip: always use your own towels, socks and shoes. -
Do not scratch existing warts
This only spreads the viruses further – on your own skin or to other people.
In the worst case, several new warts may develop.
