So crazy question cause I think I might just be going insane. In the last two months I had a spot on my skin that should up and in the last 4 weeks has rapidly morphed into what looks like a wart now today I have another spot like the first one show up next to it. I had warts as a kid and we just had my sons warts removed is it possible that they are contagious and I just reaquired them since I am fighting lymes and the immune system is suppressed? Or should I be concerned that it may be more? I was at the doctor today and they just said well it sure looks like a wart but we will watch it and if it changes let us know. Which since it was groing so fast I thought was enough of a change but. Anyway I know very little about warts will they grow so fast? And are they contagious or just an old virus resurfacing?

Thanks
Nick

You are right I would say on all accounts, your immune system is down, they are contagious and you will probably get more. The virus will go away when everything else picks up and your system can fight it better. There are good home remedies around on Earth Clinic if you dont want to buy an over the counter remedy.

I get a wart, on the side of my hand, every single time I"m infected and fight with it until I'm healed. So I agree about the immune function being down, and the contagiousness of warts (this has actually been proven) and that things should get better as your body strengthens and heals.

A home treatment that works and isn't painful is apple cider vinegar. Soak a cotton ball with acv, tape it over the wart and refresh it every few hours. In a day or two, maybe longer if it's particularly stubborn, it will turn black and fall off. I did just this for a wart on my son's foot. I was surprised at how well it worked. Much much less painful than the otc and in office burning methods.

My kids and I have had issues with them. Kids on feet and I have 2 on my thumb. Cover with duct tape for a couple of weeks. Keep them covered and it will do the trick. I was amazed at how well this worked and was mad at myself for having my middle daughters' wart frozen off. She was 2 and it was painful for her. You may have to file it down a bit - I had to do that after a week on my daughter's foot. I added tea tree oil to the two on my finger because they were a lot more stubborn. I think it was a different strain than what she had on her foot. Mine took more like 2 months and they are almost gone but not fully.

And I thought I was just going crazy. Does any body know if/when I should worry about them? It just seems they came up so fast. I try not to worry about this stuff but I do I just worry about cancers sometimes since I have had so many issues with nausea and lymph nodes that won't go down. Even though it sure looks like a wart it freaked me out at first. Is there tell tale differences between the two?
