A member asked:
Does shaving spread genital warts on yourself? everytime a new wart appears does that mean it will take 2 more years to go away on their own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, that is an easy way to spread them, although they can spread on their own. Try to see your dermatologist to have them frozen or otherwise treated, and be very careful shaving. Electric is probably better than a blade.
