Warts Specialists FAQ in Westminster, MD

Can HPV warts come back after 10 years?

Once treated, a wart may eventually come back, as HPV is a lifelong virus. However, 70-80% of people who have had a genital wart treatment will not have a recurrence.

Is HPV warts contagious for life?

Yes, genital warts and the virus that causes them are both highly contagious. There isn’t a cure for HPV. Once you have the virus, you’re always infectious. Even if you don’t have symptoms like genital warts, or you have the warts treated and removed, you can still infect another person with HPV and genital warts.

Do warts go away if left untreated?

Most warts will persist for one to two years if they are left untreated. Eventually, the body will recognize the virus and fight it off, causing the wart to disappear. While they remain, however, warts can spread very easily when people pick at them or when they are on the hands, feet or face.

Do warts need to be biopsied?

The majority of warts do not require a biopsy. But a biopsy may be taken if genital warts cannot be easily identified with a physical examination or during a gynecology examination with a lighted magnifying instrument (colposcopy).

Does everyone with warts have HPV?

No. Warts can appear after a person is infected, or you can have at all, as the body’s immune system fights the virus.

Can warts spread in bed?

Common warts are not very infectious with intact skin, but can be passed by people from sharing bedding, towels or when people pick at their warts, bite their nails and do not properly wash their hands.

What vitamin gets rid of warts?

Salicylic acid and cryotherapy are the most frequent treatments for common warts, but can be painful and cause scarring, and have high failure and recrudescence rates. Topical vitamin A has been shown to be a successful treatment of common warts in prior informal studies.

How many treatments does it take to get rid of warts?

Depending on the severity of the case, persistent removal efforts performed every few weeks may be required to completely destroy a wart. On average, warts on the hands and feet may require five to seven treatments.

Does apple cider vinegar get rid of warts?

Vinegar burns and gradually destroys the infected skin, making the wart fall off eventually, like the way salicylic acid works. The irritation caused by the acid boosts the immune system’s ability to combat the virus responsible for the wart.

When should I be worried about a wart?

Warts are usually harmless. In most cases, they go away on their own within months or years. But if they spread or cause pain, or if you don’t like the way they look, you may want to treat them.

What happens if HPV keeps coming back?

If you have high-risk HPV that sticks around or goes dormant and keeps coming back, that’s when it becomes cancer causing (or what doctors call oncogenic).
