The viruses are more likely to cause warts when they come in contact with skin that is damaged or cut. Getting a small scrape or biting fingernails may bring on wart. Similarly, cuts and nicks from shaving can provide an avenue for infection.
Warts are caused by a type of virus called human papilloma virus (HPV). Infection always originates from persons who harbor the virus. Infection occurs through cuts and breaks in the skin as a result of close contact with the infected person. The other mode of transmission is autoinoculation in case of warts on scalp.
