Who's At Risk
Warts can affect people of any age, but they are most common between the ages 12–16. It is estimated that 20% of schoolchildren and about 10% of the general population have warts. Those with HIV, organ transplants, or on chemotherapy have a higher incidence of warts due to their weakened immune system.
