“One I would never pick at or chew on any warts that I have. Warts are caused by the HPV virus and can be easily spread when you pick up and result in multiple warts from just one wart and I’ve definitely had patients who chewed on their warts and have developed warts around their mouth.

“If you do develop a wart, I recommend applying over the counter compound w to the wart at thin layers all you need and then cover it with duct tape.Do that about five nights a week. Sleep on it overnight, wake up in the morning, remove the duct tape rinse off your hand and go about your day. Do that for about a month or two and if you’re not seeing any improvement, then see a dermatologist for other treatment options.”
