HPV infection leads to skin growths called warts. The virus infects the top skin layer and stimulates rapid growth of keratinocytes, forming a raised, rough bump that’s characteristic of a wart. Warts are contagious and can appear on various parts of the body, commonly on the hands and feet. The other options don’t fit because burns come from heat or chemical injury, calluses arise from repeated friction as a protective thickening of skin, and eczema is an inflammatory skin condition with itchy patches, none of which are caused by HPV infection.
