Who's At Risk
Warts can be found in all ages and populations of people, but they seem to be most common in children aged 12–16 years. Infants may acquire warts through a tiny break in their skin if they come into contact with another person (eg, a caregiver) with warts. It is very rare for an infant to develop a wart after touching an object that was handled by another person with warts. However, flat warts may spread more quickly on infants, since infants might scratch at the warts, unknowingly causing more warts to form near the same area.
