Is Warts in Body Cancer Sign: It is common to have warts or moles in the body. But it also goes away easily. The cause of warts is HPV i.e. Human Papilloma Virus. HPV causes growth of mucus membrane on the skin which is called warts. There are more than 100 types of HPV viruses. Most of these do not cause cancer. But some are so stubborn that they become responsible for cancer. In such a situation, it is important to know which type of wart should alert a person.
According to Mayo Clinic, warts can occur in the skin or on any part of the body due to infection with the HPV virus. If it gets cut anywhere on the skin, it penetrates through the blood. Apart from this, it can also happen through physical relation because it is a communicable disease. If someone uses an infected person's towel, shower, soap, shaving kit etc. then he can also get it.
Now the question is which type of wart poses a risk of cancer. According to Mayo Clinic, HPV can cause cancer in lower parts of the body such as warts in the uterus. Image: Canva
Apart from this, if the wart appears in the anus, male genital organs, female genital organs, vulva, back and behind the throat, then it can also be cancer. Therefore, if a wart appears in these parts of the body, it should not be ignored.
But not all warts appearing at these places are the cause of cancer. If the wart goes away in a few days or gets eliminated with simple medicine or cream, then it is not cancer. 
If the wart does not go away easily on these parts then it can be cancer. In such a situation, you should immediately contact a doctor. Most warts do not cause pain, so do not ignore it but take it seriously and contact a doctor.
