Are verrucas spread only on wet surfaces?

Verrucas, or plantar warts, are primarily caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are commonly spread in moist environments, such as Swimming Pools and locker rooms. However, they can also be transmitted through direct contact with infected skin, so they are not exclusively spread on wet surfaces. Maintaining good foot hygiene and avoiding sharing personal items can help reduce the risk of infection.
