Common warts are caused by a virus and by this fact, they are contagious. One may acquire warts through skin to skin contact. However, not everyone exposed to someone with warts will get the skin condition. Certain factors are also involved, this includes the person's immunity and the frequency of exposure.
Avoid frequent skin to skin contact as much as possible. Refrain from sharing towels and clothes. The best way to prevent infecting others and also spreading the infection in other parts of one's body is to treat the lesions.
I suggest you seek consult with a dermatologist. Common warts may be readily treated. However, most medications for warts are a little abrasive and may need a physician to aid in applying the medications. This will help make sure that normal skin will not be irritated.
