Tips on avoiding the human papillomavirus:
- Avoid touching warts on yourself or others.
- Don't share razors, towels, socks, or shoes with another person. Someone with no visible warts can still be carrying the virus.
- Avoid walking barefoot on warm, moist surfaces where the wart virus may be alive. Wear shower shoes when using public showers, locker rooms, or pool areas.
- Keep your feet dry. If your feet sweat heavily, wear socks that absorb moisture or wick it away from the skin.
- Avoid irritating the soles of your feet. Warts grow more easily if your skin has been injured or broken in some way.
Tips on preventing warts from spreading:
- Keep warts covered with a bandage or athletic tape.
- Don't bite your nails or cuticles, as this may spread warts from one finger to another.
