Warts in mouth may be quite rare because the warts are often happening on the genitals areas, but it doesn’t make the problem less easy or less painful. Warts are fleshy and small lumps that grow in the affected area – in genital warts, the problem grows around the genital.
In mouth warts, it will grow around the mouth, inside and outside. It is also possible for the warts to grow in the throat, which makes the problem more challenging and difficult.

Warts are commonly caused by the HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) and it is highly contagious, especially through direct contact. S*xual contact is commonly the main reason why this oral warts issue can spread.
Whereas the genital warts are quite common, the mouth warts are pretty rare. Throat warts are even rarer. Oral s*x is one way to transmit and spread the virus.

This kind of issue can be complicated because you can’t really rest your mouth and not using it at all. R If you suffer from genital warts, for instance, you can refrain from any s*xual activity until your problem is cured. However, if the warts are happening to the mouth, how can you refrain yourself from eating or drinking? It is possible for the foods or the drink to irritate the warts, preventing it from curing completely.
