A member asked:
I has a small few warts on my neck and i cut them off because they really bothered me was this safe? and can warts be genetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is safe: Warts are the product of a viral infection onto the skin. Cutting them off as you have done is probably safe although there is a small risk of spreading the virus. Keep the areas clean and a little rubbing alcohol on the site will be helpful. Warts are not genetic in origin but your genetics might make you a little more susceptible to getting them.
