common warts?

by waterlily88, Feb 19, 2009 10:51PM
Is it possible to spread a common wart that's on your hand onto your lip? I have a tiny tiny bump that isn't even visible to anyone but me, but feels kind of like a cut and when I look closely enough I see a small bump. Is it a wart? or simply a pimple? are common plantar warts just on your hands and feet? or can they spread anywhere on your body? I'm very worried.

Hi,

Warts are caused by  the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are contagious when in contact with the skin of an infected person. It is also possible to get warts from using towels or other objects used by an infected person. Common warts grow on your hands or fingers. Treatment helps prevent common warts from spreading to other parts of your body or to other people. Unfortunately, they may recur after treatment, and they may be a persistent problem. See your doctor if the warts persist,or becomes painful or rapidly multiplying. You can  read more about this through this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wart

Take care and regards.
