What Are Feet Warts? Are Warts Contagious? How Do You Cure Foot Warts?

My youngest son had some really big warts on his feet. It took quite a few visits to the podiatrist to get rid of them. She burned them and then scraped off the extra skin and then burned them again and did this repeatedly until they had gone completely. We also had to put some cream she gave us on it at home that had the same active ingredient the stuff she was using had. He was a real trooper, and it worked great. The first podiatrist actually gave up.

However, my daughter still has warts on her knee, toes and fingers. The doctor tried to burn them off but gave up after two tries. He said that warts are a virus anyway and that they will most likely go away on their own.

Warts actually ARE contagious. The reason my kids have them is that my husband had them all over his arms and was picking at them and touching everything. I tried to tell him, but he wouldn't listen to me.

Some people, like me, are not prone to warts. I think if your immunities are down, you may also be more susceptible to catching them.
