What causes warts on your hands?

Most forms, however, are spread by casual skin contact or through shared objects, such as towels or washcloths. The virus usually spreads through breaks in your skin, such as a hangnail or a scrape. Biting your nails also can cause warts to spread on your fingertips and around your nails.

What is the fastest way to remove a wart at home?

Salicylic acid is a peeling agent that people use for general skin care, acne treatment, and other dermatological conditions. However, it can also help with treating warts. People can use salicylic acid patches or gels to speed up wart healing and destroy any cells affected by HPV.

Can I remove warts on my own?

Can I cut off a wart?

A healthcare provider can surgically remove a wart, but you should not try to cut off a wart on your own. You may cut yourself and cause the warts to spread. While warts often go away on their own over time, there are ways to remove them. If you aren't sure which treatment to try, talk with your healthcare provider.
