A member asked:
If i rip off my wart, will it spread?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad idea: See your doctor for appropriate removal. That would diminish the chances of it returning and of getting the entire wart. Some warts are very deep. Using sterile equipment can prevent infection and that is at the doctor's office.
