Warts on the fingers commonly occur from biting fingernails?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I'm not sure if biting nails causes warts on your fingers, but if there is a wart, biting the nail can spread the warts to other fingers. Also touching the warts and then another part of your body can spread the warts there.
