    Common scrotal warts are usually caused by infection with the human papillomavirus, which can also be caused by direct or indirect contact.

    1. Infection with human papillomavirus

    Common warts are usually wart-like growths that appear on the skin and mucous membranes. Most are caused by human papillomavirus infection, which can cause common warts on the scrotum.

    2. Direct contact

    Common scrotal warts are highly contagious and can lead to infection through direct contact with the affected area.

    3. Indirect contact

    Scrotal infection is usually transmitted through contact with the patient's personal belongings or shared towels, and can also be caused by sexual intercourse.

    Common scrotal warts can be treated with topical drugs, such as salicylic acid, tazarotene gel, etc., according to the guidance of a doctor. They can also be treated with physical methods, such as laser or photodynamic therapy.
