When there is direct contact most especially to wounds, warts are easily transferred. With low immune system, warts are easily transferrable. Plus, when you do get warts, it is easier for it to grow and spread. Warts may sometimes disappear on its own through the help of our body fighting it off. Some of them, however, are quite stubborn and need treatments to get rid off.
