Warts on the neck are primarily caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which triggers the growth of skin cells. They can be spread through direct skin-to-skin contact or by touching surfaces contaminated with the virus. Factors like a weakened immune system, cuts or abrasions on the skin, and prolonged exposure to moisture can increase the likelihood of developing warts. Certain strains of HPV are more likely to cause warts in specific areas, including the neck.
