A member asked:
If i use a razor to shave over or near genital warts, and then use that same razor to shave other parts of my body (legs, armpit, etc), can the warts spread from my genitals to other places on my body?

I think that it is possible to spread the virus in that manner. I wouldn’t take the chance. Probably not a good idea to shave near the wart and traumatize it in any way prior to receiving treatment to eliminate the wart.
