12 Embarrassing Body Problems

Hand Warts

Hand warts are caused by both a genetic predisposition to the condition and contact with an infected person.

You can remove the warts yourself by using a nail file to gently slough off the top layers daily. You should not use this nail file for anything else. Apply an over-the-counter salicylic acid solution, like Occlusal HP, to dissolve the warts. If the warts still persist for months, go to your dermatologist. You can get other treatments like laser therapy and liquid nitrogen treatments. Warts can come back even after treatments, so be careful about contact, especially during sexual activity.
