A member asked:
My husband has a wart on his hand and changed my newborn son's diaper -- can warts be spread to my son's bottom? he has a diaper rash as well.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Diaper rash may cause an impairment of skin barrier. Which in turn can be a portal of entry to infectious agents, including human papilloma virus that causes warts. Therefore, the answer is yes. Your husband should avoid contact of the wart with the skin of others and with the unaffected skin on his body, in order to prevent inoculation and auto-inoculation, respectively.
