What Causes Warts?

Now that you know what causes warts, you can try to avoid getting them by making sure that you don't share personal care items with others, especially if those other people have warts.

This means you don't want to share razors, towels, makeup applicators, facecloths ...... basically anything that touches your skin should be used by only you.

Another way that people commonly get warts on their feet (called plantar warts) is by walking barefoot in public areas. The virus that causes warts loves warm moist places like the floors in public pools, showers and gym locker rooms. If someone has plantar warts and walks on the floor, the virus can be deposited there. Then when you come along and step in the same spot, you can pick up the virus and the next thing you know, you have a bunch of painful plantar warts!

Getting rid of warts can be as simple as applying an over the counter medicine or as complicated as having cryosurgery.

One thing to remember, though is that, since warts are causes by a virus, you need to eradicate the virus in order to get rid of warts for good. Sometimes topical treatments will "seem" to work, but after a month or two you will find that your warts come back. That's because the virus is still lurking underneath.

You need to get rid of all the skin cells that harbor the virus. Now this can be done by surgery - if all the cells with the virus are removed then your warts will be gone for good. The only problem with that is that there is no way to tell if all the cells with the virus are gone and .... well ... surgery hurts!

So what can you do if you don't want surgery but still want to get rid of warts?
