A member asked:
I have a wart on my foot and i take a bath, could the virus that causes it travel through the water and give me like.. genital warts?

No: Verruca plantaris is a specific HPV wart strain different from the genital wart virus strain. You are safe to take a bath, however it is important to get clinical treatment so it will not spread to your other foot!
