Not everyone who gets in contact with the virus will develop warts. Warts virus is not very resistant so people with strong immune system will avoid being contracted even if they get exposed to it. Children get warts more often than adults because they have weaker immune system. Fortunately, their warts quickly go away while with adults they tend to stick around much longer.




There are people who are particularly susceptible to warts. People with weak immune system and people who handle poultry and fish tend to catch warts more easily than others. Athletes have the highest incidence of plantar warts. The diabetics are also susceptible to plantar warts. People with dry skin are likely to contract warts through cracks in the skin.

When you get in contact with the virus, the first wart will not appear for 2 to 6 months. When it does, it will stay in your skin for 12 to 16 months and then it will usually disappear by itself. If it does not disappear during this time, it will probably stay there for years.




You should start fighting warts the moment you notice them. In fact, the sooner you start your treatment, more easily you will get rid of them. Be prepared for a long battle, though. They can be pretty stubborn and resistant to different therapies.There is no universal wart therapy – some people respond better to natural remedies, other find OTC remedies most effective, while some opt for professional medical treatment.

If you have contracted genital warts, refrain from having sex. Condoms provide only partial protection because the surrounding skin can also be contaminated with the virus which can be passed onto another person.
