Meaning of "wart" in English

A "wart" is a small, often rough growth on the skin, typically caused by a viral infection from the human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts can appear on different parts of the body, most commonly on the hands, feet, and face. They are generally harmless but can be unsightly and sometimes uncomfortable. Warts vary in appearance, size, and location, and they can spread through direct contact with a wart or something that touched a wart. While they often disappear on their own, treatments are available to remove them.
