Answer 1

warts are caused by a virus.If your bf will put a piece of duct tape a small piece over the wart,it will fall off.He has to keep it on the wart until it falls off.What this does is the duct tape covers the wart to where the wart cannot breathe,and it will fall off.Virsuses such as warts have to have air in order to stay alive and covering it will sufficate and not allow the wart to breathe and therefore it will die and fall off.Sounds crazy but it will work.good luck

Answer 2

There are tons of products you can purchase over the counter and they all work if you use them correctly.

Before applying the antiseptic stuff you should really wash the area, rough it up using a nail file and then apply it. My younger brother used to get them on the bottom of his feet, which is pretty strange.

Warts on the skin may be passed to another person when that person touches the warts. It is also possible to get warts from using towels or other objects that were used by a person who has warts.

The kind he has is called "common warts". Usually found on fingers, hands, knees, and elbows, a common wart is a small, hard bump that's dome-shaped and usually grayish-brown. It has a rough surface that may look like the head of a cauliflower, with black dots inside.

Warts are a type of infection caused by viruses in the human papillomavirus (HPV) family. There are more than 100 types of HPV viruses. Warts can grow on all parts of your body. They can grow on your skin, on the inside of your mouth, on your genitals and on your rectal area. Some types of HPV tend to cause warts on the skin, while other HPV types tend to cause warts on the genitals and rectal area. Some people are more naturally resistant to the HPV viruses and don't seem to get warts as easily as other people

Answer 3

Warts are usually from a virus..now you won't believe this, but get some good old fashioned silver duct tape, and wrap it around his finger for about a week and then change it, and do it again...the wart will be gone...there is something in the tape and the lack of oxygen that removes it permanantly...just try it, I did, and never saw the little pest again..after trying EVERYTHING

Answer 4

It's very common. There are several store things he can buy that you just put on a little liquid then cover it will the band-aid they provide and it will fall off soon. It's cheap....a few bucks, that's all.

What are they caused by? ALL warts (common and genital) are caused by HPV. Here's a good site with more info:
