HPV infection may cause common warts, which mainly present as small, hard papules on the skin surface, grayish-brown or brown in color, with a rough texture. It may also lead to flat warts, characterized by small, flat papules on the skin surface that are relatively smooth and colored brown or light white. Additionally, it could result in molluscum contagiosum, which appears as round, skin-colored papules on the skin surface.
