Small black dots can be seen in the center of the warts. <\/p>\n<p>In general, warts do not cause any particular discomfort. They are more of a nuisance because of their appearance. However, they can sometimes cause pain, especially plantar warts or those located on the fingertips. They can resemble corns, but should not be confused with them.   <\/p>\n<p>Warts are contagious and can spread quickly. It is therefore possible that<br \/>several warts may appear. Prompt treatment as soon as they appear will help them disappear more quickly and prevent the risk of spreading.  <\/p>\n\t<h3>\n\t\t\t\tHow can you prevent warts from spreading?\n\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t<ul>\n\t\t<li>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h5>Avoid touching or scratching the wart.<\/h5><\/li><li>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h5>Keep the wart covered with a bandage.<\/h5><\/li><li>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h5>Never touch someone else&#8217;s wart.<\/h5><\/li><li>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h5>If you touch a wart, wash your hands immediately.<\/h5><\/li><li>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h5>Avoid sharing personal items<\/h5><p>Such as socks, bath towels, beach towels, nail files, etc.<\/p>\n<\/li><li>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h5>In the case of a plantar wart, avoid walking barefoot, keep your feet dry, and wear cotton socks, changing them every day.<\/h5><\/li>\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/accesinfirmieres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/logo-slogan-rouge-blanc-2023-acces-infirmieres.png\" alt=\"logo-slogan-rouge-blanc-2023-acces-infirmieres\" title=\"logo-slogan-rouge-blanc-2023-acces-infirmieres\" itemprop=\"image\"  \/>\n\t<p>Our services are offered in our clinic and satellite clinic as well as in your home.
