Warts can grow on all parts of your body. Some people are more naturally resistant to the HPV viruses and don t seem to get them as easily as other people. Warts are contagious and can be passed on to other people. It is also possible to get warts from using towels or other objects that were used by a person who has warts. Sometimes warts will go away by themselves, although it may take months, or even years to do so.
Warts are often a bother, they can bleed and cause pain, if bumped.
It is important to know that warts on the skin, such as on the fingers, feet and knees, and warts on the genitals are removed in different ways. Applying salicylic acid for warts on places such as the hands, feet, or knees is one treatment method. To get good results, it must be applied every day for many weeks. After taking a bath or shower and towel drying, apply the acid. The acid sinks in deeper and works better when it is applied to damp skin.
