No, warts are not just for
witches or from kissing frogs. People of all ages and skin types can get
warts. They commonly occur on the hands and feet and are very contagious. Warts
are caused by the Human Papilloma (HPV) virus which is transmitted by skin to
skin contact. You can prevent the risk of spreading warts by taking these
simple steps.
1. Stop picking. By picking or
biting your nails you can spread the wart virus to other areas on your skin.
2. Wash your hands regularly. This is an
easy simple way to reduce your risk of spreading warts.
3. Take your vitamins. Studies
show that taking 50mg of zinc daily can help the body fight off the HPV virus
and prevent it from reoccurring.
4. See your dermatologist. Starting
treatments sooner than later with liquid nitrogen or laser therapy can prevent
the risk of warts spreading.
