Do plane warts form neck spread to genital

Hello ,
i have some doubt's ,  Do plane warts form neck spread to genital , while bathing or by using the common  towel  ?
i use to have a multiple plane warts on my neck , i am using salicylic acid for that , with in the use of 9 days all the warts has been cleared . will this warts return back again after gone once ? . i doubt  that i got warts on my penis by touching while bathing or by using a common towel for cleaning the neck and my other body area  while bathing . can i use salicylic acid for it . i heard that if the body immune system is good this warts go away by them self , is it true ? if gone will they return back again? i also heard that this virus enters in to our DNA and will be there for the rest of our life , is it true ?

tank's for your reply madam ,
if the virus causing the plane warts on neck is different form the virus of that causing genital warts, then why i got some wart like pimple's ( 4 to 5 in No. ) on my penis . for this can i use salicylic acid ?
I also heard that this virus enters in to our DNA and will be there for the rest of our life , is it true ?

Hello,

The strain of virus causing genital warts is different from the one causing plain warts. However continuous touching of the genital area when you have plain warts can cause transmission of the virus and hence warts to appear on genital area. In 90% of cases, the body’s immune system clears HPV naturally within two years.  But, sometimes, HPV infections are not cleared and can have HPV even if years have passed since he or she had sexual contact with an infected person.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
