Flat wart like bumps are appearing on the back of my hands and feet.. what to do to prevent them? what might be the reason?

They are triggered by casual contact with various strains of the HPV virus. Avoiding direct contact with the warts on someone's body can help avoid them, however, most who get them have no idea where they were exposed.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. You may try over the counter wart remedies available at drug stores. Talk to the pharmacist for suggestions about available products. If that does not help, it would be prudent to see a doctor to ascertain if the lesions need to be treated differently. Get HPV vaccine to prevent infection with other strains of this virus.
