The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which causes warts, is contagious. So, while we may be able to target one wart, remember that your skin might be open for a while. If you are not careful, the virus can spread, or re-enter your wound. We will advise you on stringent aftercare procedures to do at home, after having your wart treated at our clinic. Please also remember that warts can reside in your body for 6 months, or even years, before showing any skin growth. We will not be able to pre-treat warts. We can only treat the ones that are protruding. If you have an already weakened immune system, such as from HIV, or medications, your chance of being infected, or re-infected, can increase. All-in-all, we feel it is better to have a wart professionally treated, as soon as you notice it. This way, you’ll reduce the chances of improper treatment protocols, or spreading the virus with prolonged, at-home remedies, which may not work to begin with. Please see more on our website.
