A member asked:
What do you suggest if my son has viral warts on his anus. could it be caused by my planter wart on my foot when he takes a bath?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely the issue: Wart strains tend to be specific for certain tissues they infect. Anal warts represent 2 strains of HPV that inhabit the genitals.They are not the warts of the foot or skin in general. Anal warts suggest sexual transmission.Anal skin tags can have a similar appearance to warts.
