Is it safe to go to a swimming pool with a verruca?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
For who?: Verruca (warts) are generally considered contageous and you could easily spread them to others. For the sake of the others, you should get them cleared up first.

Should be: Warts are caused by human papilloma viruses and transmit by direct contact, not in a swimming pool.
