A member asked:

How long can hpv that causes plantars worts live in my shoe? my concern is that i will be treated and then put my foot in contact with the virus again

A doctor has provided 1 answer

New shoes: I am not sure exactly how long the virus can live on surfaces, but i know recurrence happens often with warts. I suggest getting rid of old shoes or using lysol spray inside your shoes. Let them dry thoroughly again before wearing.
