A member asked:
How easily do common warts spread while holding hands? i have been told that they are contagious, but my dermatologist told me that i will most likely not spread them to anyone while holding hands unless they have a cut or lesion on their hand?

Common hand warts rarely are transmitted so easily. Even a cut or other lesion on the hands usually doesn't matter.
