Warts are common and contagious, caused by a viral infection with one of the Human Papilloma virus strains. There are many types. Warts are usually passed by person to person contact, though you can also get them by coming into contact with something that was handled by somebody that has warts (like bedsheets and towels). They typically disappear after a few months but, if untreated, can last for years and can recur. A few Human Papilloma viruses are known to cause cancer.Possible treatments for warts include:* Freezing after which the wart and surrounding dead skin falls off by itself* Freezing and surgically removing the infected spot* Treatment with chemical compounds, usually salicylic acid* Laser treatmentThe following household remedy is recommended for three consecutive days: Put the "wart cells" in hot water with washing liquid. However it is difficult to prove whether the warts disappear because of the household remedy or by an immune reaction.A household remedy whose efficacy has been ratified by at least one study is placing a piece of duct tape (medical tape works too) over the affected area for a week at a time, rubbing off the dead wart cells with a pumice stone or emery board between tapings; this treatment is believed also to work as a result of an heightened immune response at the site of the wart.Particularly stubborn warts may need to be cut off completely, but this method should be used as a last resort, as it is both painful and can lead to infection.
