What are Warts, Chickenpox & Herpes?

Warts, Chickenpox, and Herpes are common viral skin infections caused by different viruses:

  • Warts – Caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), resulting in small, rough, raised bumps on the skin.

  • Chickenpox – Caused by the varicella-zoster virus, leading to itchy, red rashes with fluid-filled blisters.

  • Herpes – Caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV), resulting in painful blisters or sores, commonly around the mouth (HSV-1) or genitals (HSV-2).

Causes & Risk Factors

  • Direct Viral Infection – Contact with infected skin, blisters, or bodily fluids.

  • Weakened Immunity – Increases susceptibility to infections.

  • Skin Trauma – Small cuts or abrasions allow viruses to infect.

  • Close Contact – Sharing personal items or crowded environments.

  • Stress & Hormonal Changes – Can trigger herpes outbreaks.

  • Poor Hygiene – Promotes viral spread and persistence.
