Can a wart last a lifetime?
The bad thing is that it takes time for them to disappear. Three out of 10 warts will go on their own in 10 weeks. Within two years, two-thirds of all warts will go without treatment. But if you’ve still got them after two years they are less likely to go on their own.
Are normal warts an STD?
A: No, common warts are not the same as genital warts. Though both types of wart are caused by the HPV group of viruses, the strains that cause each type are different and so are the methods of transmission. Unlike common warts, genital warts are spread through sexual contact, they are an STI/STD.
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).
How to avoid getting warts?
Avoid touching someone’s wart. Make sure that everyone in your home has their own towels, washcloths, razors, nail clippers, socks, and other personal items. Clean and cover cuts and scrapes. Wash your hands often. Prevent dry, cracked skin.
