A member asked:
My son has viral warts on his anus. could it have been caused by my planter wart on my foot when he takes a bath?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Anal warts are a different strain or the wart virus. It comes from the same group as genital warts. The germ can be passed during delivery from an asymptomatic mother and not show up for a couple years. They can also be transmitted by sexual contact.
