Warts in children are usually caused by human papilloma virus infection.
Warts are benign growths caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of the skin and mucous membranes, and clinically common warts, flat warts, plantar warts and condyloma acuminatum, and wart-like epidermal dysplasia.
Humans are the original hosts and reservoirs of HPV, especially when the skin and mucous membranes are broken, HPV will invade the epithelial cells through the breaks and then replicate in the body.
In children, this usually occurs when they are immunocompromised, such as in malignant lymphoma and leukemia, thus increasing the likelihood of warts. Of course, children can easily contract the disease if they share personal items such as towels with an infected person.
It is recommended that when children develop warts, parents take their children to the hospital in time to cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and alleviate the adverse symptoms.
