Would hot showers unfreeze recently frozen warts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The process which freezes warts only lasts for 30-60 seconds. There is no prolonged "freezing" of the wart or the surrounding tissue, so taking a hot shower after a freezing application would not be contraindicated.
