Flat wart Transmission Worry:(

Is it possible to transmit flat warts to your genial area?  I think that may have happened to me (and I'm really wishing its not the case, but my paranoia instead), regardless I think this may have occured when I shaved my legs (which I think I have one flat wart on there, to be removed soon) and didn't shave over it or near it and then I shaved my pubic area.  I now noticed a small flat/shiny round thing (maybe ingrown hair from shaving like the rest) or could it possible be the start of a flat wart?  

Help I'm freaking out!  I have a dermtalogy appointment soon, but not soon enough.  She used liquid nitrogen for the ones on my hand, but since then I've noticed more and 2 on my left knee.

Once I get rid of them all by freezing, how can I ensure and prevent myself from getting them againi?  Please help as I feel awful and diseased and don't want to keep reinfecting myself and having to deal with this.  Are there any meds to decrease these chances as well as boost my immune system.
I'm trying my best to get rest, enough sleep and take more immune-boosting vitamins.

Sincerely,
Concerned in Florida

It could be.

Ask your doctor to run an iron test on you. Many people develop warts when they are low on iron. DO NOT start yourself on iron pills without first consulting a doctor, as high levels can be more dangerous than low iron levels.

Warts spread by touch. They can easily spread from one part of your body to another.
