Hi Dr. I touched my groin area and my underwear.
I know this is a stupid question but as you know I have flat and common warts on my hands and is being treated. If I touched an area near my groin and later pre-*** comes into that area is there a chance of spreading the warts?
BTW treatment is well. almost gone.
how about cautherization? does that hurt?
one last question. I am using vaseline for my chapped hand, the one with warts is that ok?
Yes, a little, for a second.

thanks dr. you put my mind at ease.
Are they more contagious now than before treatment?
You don't need to worry about spreading them from hand top genital, or anywhere else for that matter. If you could do that, you'd have them all over, but for some reason warts don;t behave that way. Popping the blister is no problem either. We generally don't attack warts surgically, because there's a greater chance of permanent scarring that way, and because warts are a virus, they often come back anyway. By the way, that's especially true of flat warts--if they keep coming back after freezing, I just advise people to wait them out, since they always go away on their own eventually.
Take care.
Dr. Rockoff
