Suggest Treatment For Warts On Finger And Nose
Question: Hey dr,
This is more of a general quetion. Recently I was with a friend for a day who had a wart on his finger and nose. He had recently got them treated and burned off but they were still evident. Now I did use his phone for a bit and was in the same car with him but I did wash my hands when I could and had a thorough shower when I got home. How likely is that it can be spread, should I be worrying and how can I prevent it?
Kind Regards,
XXXX

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. It was really smart of you to wash your hands whenever you could, and also take a thorough shower when you could. That is the advisable step for prevention of transmission when in contact with individuals who do have warts.
Your friend most probably had a common wart, which is not so easily transmitted, and with your precautionary measures, I doubt that you could have got it from him. So rest assured, all you need to do is be safe around him and make sure you wash your hands or any skin exposed to the warts and also avoid eating or touching other parts of your body before you get a chance to wash your hands thoroughly first.
In conclusion, I really doubt you could have got it from him. I hope this helps, please feel free to write to me anytime, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
