Some female patients are worried that silk -like warts are related to cervical HPV infection. Although they belong to HPV, they are different subtypes and have no correlation.

Is it contagious?

Silk warts are contagious and are mainly developed by direct or indirect contact with the skin lesions of patients.

The virus enters the cells and reproduces and proliferates through the slight damage of the skin and mucosa, causing abnormally differentiation and proliferation of epithelial cells.

The source of silk wart infection is a patient and a healthy virus, which can be transmitted by directly contacting the patient's skin lesions and sharing personal items with patients.
