Question 1

is it possible for plantar warts to spread to hands?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Warts are caused by a virus and can spread.

Question 2

are plantar warts on feet and warts on hands spread via surfaces? how careful do i need to be around someone who has plantar warts on feet that walks around barefoot and will not wear socks?

Accepted Answer

: Plantar warts are likely triggered by contact with the virus on floor surfaces/in the shower/et6c. The time between initial contact with the virus &amp; detection of the wart makes an understanding of when &amp; where it was acquired hard to know with certainty. I would just wear shoes around such a person &amp; sanitize any shared shower stalls after their use.

Question 3

is it true that if you've had one strain of hpv, you can't get any others? i had 2 plantar warts when i was a child and one wart on hand 2 years ago.

Accepted Answer

No: Each strain has its own characteristics and immunity gained by an infection to one does not protect you from the others. The present best protection against the std forms of hpv is a vaccine with 4 separate strains covered by material in the shot.Even then, the &gt;50 other strains of this family of viruses are unaffected.

Question 4

can we have plantar wart on hands?

Accepted Answer

No: There are many wart viruses, there are only a few that infect the feet. Wart viruses are contracted by contact.

Question 5

i have what i think is a plantar wart on pad of my foot below my toes. its itchy dry skin spot, my husband got them from his sister who got hers confirmed. it looks exactly like it. we have a daughter that crawls can she get them on hands/mouth?

Accepted Answer

Yes &amp; no: Warts are caused by strains of virus that are acquired from environmental exposure. Those strains that infect the skin/foot are specific to those skin types. They do not infect the mouth. Your husband may or may not have got them from a sister or just from a contaminated floor surface. The virus does not pass easily &amp; most occurrences are random. It is not like a strep germ.

Question 6

i've had a smooth ingrown wart on the pad of my thumb for about 6 yrs. it is painful. is this a plantar wart? how could i get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

No not plantar: Plantar warts are found  on the foot not the hand. It could be a wart or a pyogenic granuloma which can be found on the hand or foot depending on the state you live in I would refer you to a Podiatrist or a dermatologist

Question 7

i touched the warts on my scrotum and and accidently put my hand on the mouth. im scared i mightve transmitted to throat?

Accepted Answer

Different habitat: Warts actually come from more than 100 different virus types - so what this means, is it's very unlikely that warts that live in the genital tract will spread to 'non-genital' areas. If the genital warts bother you - you can easily see a doctor who can get rid of them for you. The old fashioned way is 'ablation' which means destruction. There is a cream available called imiquimod. See ID doc pls.

Question 8

touched penis and scrotum with hand wart before and no warts appeared. it's been months since then. is it possible to still transmit them to their?

Accepted Answer

Wart: incubation can be upto 8months. However verruca vulgaris has less affinity to the genitals than conndyloma accuminata which is sexual transmitted

Question 9

how to test for oral hpv? i touched my scrotum, in which it has warts and then put my hand inside my mouth accidently.?hpv transmit like this right?

Accepted Answer

What will be will be: We don't test for what one might put in his mouth because there are likely a billion germs that one transfers from his hands to his mouth in the course of a lifetime. What will be will be. Otherwise, one would have to visit the doctor every week of his life to get his mouth examined and samples taken. There's much more to life than worrying about things like that. If lesions grow, then we check.

Question 10

if you touch the genital warts on scrotum and put your ur hand in your mouth. will you get oral hpv? possibility? scared!!

Accepted Answer

Possible?: Sure, many things are possible in life. That is one of the main reasons to remain monogamous... meaning to have very few sexual partners in one's lifetime. That way, a couple can do pretty much anything they want to do, and still have a low exposure to various germs. In life, if one is a worrier, DON'T do the risky stuff. It's really that simple.
