A member asked:

What happens if i masturbate and i have a finger wart can i get genital warts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Wart viruses are specific to the type of skin they live in. Genital warts inhabit specific types of tissue, including the male and female genitals & the anal skin.In people with weak immunity,(AIDS) they can be found on the oral lips. Skin warts are specific to thicker skin surfaces including that of feet/hands and regular skin.
