Have flat warts on my hands and went to dermatologist to get them frozen. blisters formed some hours later, and i accidentally tore the skin off of one. will this make the warts regrow and the virus spread? i see raised red spots where the warts were?

: Warts regrow if the depth of freezing did not get to the root of the wart. Tearing off the blister has no direct effect on spread or recurrence. The raised spot may be natural healing in process. A month from now the results should be evident.
