Wart is a contagious infection caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection. Warts are usually self-limiting usually smaller warts resolve spontaneously, but treatment is given to reduce pain, decrease duration, and reduce transmission as it is contagious and spread by direct and indirect contact. You don’t have to worry if you are not immune-compromised. In patients with compromised immune system like patient with organ/bone marrow transplant, warts spread rapidly and are bigger is size.
Advice
1.     Apply salicylic acid 6% locally twice daily but do not apply this in facial or eyelid wart. Apply it on hand and feet wart only
2.     Cover them with adhesive bandage while swimming
3.     Wear flip-flops when using communal bathroom
4.     Do not share your wardrobe and towel with anyone
5.     Take high protein diet like egg, milk & cheese to enhance immunity
6.     Take Revital capsule one capsule daily for 1 month to boost immunity
7.     Be happy and cool as any kind of mental stress aggravates wart
Surgery is used to treat resistant wart.
Thanks!!
