Warts, also called cadillos or petty, are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) and, because it is caused by a virus, they are highly contagious.
They come in various sizes and shapes and are usually located on the hands and fingers, but can occasionally occur on other parts of the body.
This is because it is spread by direct contact. That is, by the contact of one part of the body with another.
If you touch a wart on your hand, you can pick up the virus on your fingers and spread it to another part of the skin surface.
Those that appear on the feet are called plantar warts and are very painful, making the person unable to walk properly. It is necessary to be very careful with the genital warts .

Although this remedy seems totally unusual, it is important to note that it is based on a study conducted in the United States with 17 people who were treated with hypnosis to remove warts once a week for five weeks. Seven other patients were not treated with hypnosis. Both groups were asked to refrain from any wart treatment, including home remedies. Patients who received hypnosis were told that they would experience a tingling sensation in the warts on one side of the body and that only those warts would disappear. Nine patients lost more than three quarters of all their warts, and four patients lost all warts on both sides of the body. At the same time, the group of those who did not receive treatment did not show any improvement.
