Tricky wart viruses: HPV or human papilloma virus is tricky. It's true that often warts will recur 'after' an ablation (surgery). This is because the warts can be 'hiding' in the skin and have not created a 'wart structure' at the time the visible warts are laser-ed off or otherwise destroyed. There is a medication called Aldara (imiquimod) that may help. There is an HPV vaccine- talk to your doc about it.
