  1. Contagious is not the right word.

    But warts can be transferred between humans.

    It is direct skin to skin contact.

    I don't know the likelihood though.  Something like touching a chicken pox or cold sore is very much a no touch zone, warts aren't that contagious but ? how close or far away they are from that.


  2. WARTSPREAD PERSON TO PERSON WHEN THEY COME IN CONTACT THIS CAN BE PREVENTED. PROPER MEDICIENS SHOULD BE TAKEN BY CONSULTING A SKIN SPECALIST.

  3. yes they are contagious. it is impossible  to never catch human wart virus, most children have a few on fingers, by time they are 8 from holding hands, and the body never usually develops them after this as they are immune protected (except sexual ones and palmar ones on feet which are a different variant.) washing hands is only  way to truly not contract one but they are harmless and go away with drops from chemist. and time.

  4. Warts are all related and belong to the human papilloma virus (HPV) family. Specific types of warts tend to appear is certain areas of the body. Genital warts are probably the most feared because of the inconvenience and stigma. These can be treated with Aldara (imiquimod) which is a topical cream applied generally to an area, that stimulated the persons immune response and eventually destroys the warts (see webpage rxlist below). People can develop their own immune response but it is not fully understood by science how this all works. The HPV has certain strains that can cause abnormal cells to develop on the cervix which are usually considered pre-cancerous cells, which may eventually become cancerous and cause disease in the womb and other secondary areas. An immunisation called Gardasil has been developed which  assists the body to recognise and destroy the HPV types6,11, 16 and 18. There are over 130 types of HPV and this can be read in the wiki website.

    Immune responses can be significantly improved by an healthy lifestyle including relaxation and a low stress attitude.

    There are a variety of over the counter pharmacy products that can be purchased for topical treatments while oral medicines can be prescribed by the medical officer (local doctor).

    Tea Tree oil has been reported to be effective against warts and other microbes. This product is quite cheap and can usually be purchased from a supermarket.

    Enjoy your curing journey.
