Wart is a contagious infection caused by human papilloma virus (HPV). Warts are usually self-limiting usually smaller warts resolve spontaneously. It is contagious and spread by direct and indirect contact. In patients with compromised immune system like patient with organ/bone marrow transplant, warts spread rapidly and are bigger is size.
Advice
1.     Apply salicylic acid 6% locally thrice daily.
2.     Cover them with adhesive bandage while swimming
3.     Wear flip-flops when using communal bathroom
4.     Do not share your wardrobe and towel with anyone
5.     Take high protein diet like egg, milk & cheese to enhance immunity
6.     Take Revital capsule one capsule daily for 1 month to boost immunity
7.     Be happy and cool as any kind of mental stress aggravates wart
Surgical excision is done to treat resistant and large wart.
Thanks
