3 There is a good chance that you have a wart if:  You have a raised round oval growth anywhere on your skin  There is a spot that is lighter, darker or black compared to your skin  If the area is pained (warts do not usually cause pain, unless pressure is constantly being pressed on, such as on the feet)

4  Warts are caused only from the virus known as Human Papilloma Virus.  if you have a wart on one part of your body, you can not spread it to another  Skin warts can not spread to other people but Genital warts can (through sexual intercourse.)
