A member asked:
I have small genital warts on penis. i apply aldara cream using my finger, if i mistakenly rubbed the cream into healthy lesion on penis by the finger will the warts spread all over the penis? is it so easy to spread the virus on my own?

Low risk: The action you described does not pose a measurable risk of spreading the infection. If your home treatment does not resolve the matter in 2-3 weeks, you should see a doctor. You should take HPV vaccine to prevent infection with other strains if the virus. Wish you good health!
