How to Get Rid of Warts Forever
Warts are ugly and can be embarrassing. Often, they are painful and sometimes they will bleed if they are bumped or agitated. Before learning how to get rid of warts, you need to know exactly what they are and what causes them. Viruses found in the human papillomavirus family, more commonly known as the HPV family, cause warts. Warts are viruses that live in the skin and feed off blood vessels, which is why removing a wart can be very painful. There are many ways to get rid of a wart, but if you want to be rid of the wart forever, you need to kill the virus itself.

Tips & Warnings
Remember that warts are caused by a virus that can enter the skin through broken skin. Keep hands clean and moisturized to prevent cracking.
If you have a plantar wart on the bottom of your foot, be sure to wear shoes so you don't spread the virus to those who may be walking barefoot in the same area.
If you have genital warts, consult your doctor before trying any home remedies.
Warts are contagious, especially genital warts. Women can get genital warts inside the cervix and may not even be aware.
