April 28, 2009 by admin
Ok so say you have an outbreak of warts in your genital area..and you touch one..if you touch another area of your body will you get one there? can you get them on your arms/legs/face…other places?
thanks a lot.
i don't have an outbreak i'm just asking if i have an outbreak can i spead the warts to other places? ive already have had a pap…i'm not a moron, i know it causes cervical cancer, please just answer the question i asked.
Okay first you don't have "outbreaks" of genital warts. That term is usually referred to as in herpes outbreaks.
And second, yes you can get warts on your hands and feet. But these warts are from a different kind of HPV (the viruses that caused all these warts). So if you rubbed your genital area and then rub your hands or something together you can get warts on your hands but it is REALLY rare. If a person does have genital warts and needs to touch them for some reason, like to put medicine on them, ALWAYS wash your hands afterward. You can also get warts in your mouth and throat if someone gave oral sex to someone who has warts, but again this is VERY rare.
