A member asked:
Might i take a bath if i have a verruca/plantar wart on my toe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may spread...: ...But not because of a bath or water. You may bathe and clean your feet as you normally would, without fear of causing the warts to spread. They do, however, occasionally spread of their own accord. Only treatment to remove the warts will stop them from spreading.

I have a widespread plantar wart on left foot that spread to right foot a little bit. Been there for over ten years and nothing takes it away or treats it. I was told by a dermatologist that zinc will help, but it will never go away. Is this true?
