"A wart is generally a small, rough, cauliflower-like growth, typically on hands and feet. Warts are common, and are caused by a viral infection, specifically by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)."

No, they are not caused by frogs. That is only a myth.

No, warts do not come from frogs. A wart is a virus very much like the flu.
