All of a sudden I am getting a number of warts. Why is this, and how can I be rid of them?

I am suddenly getting a lot of warts across my hands and fingers. What can be causing this sudden spread of warts, how do I get rid of them, and how do I prevent this from reoccuring?

Warts are caused by a viral infection. You need to see a primary care doctor or dermatologist and try liquid nitrogen freezing od the warts.

Warts can be tough as the virus hides from the immune system. Common reasons warts spread on the hands is from excessive sweating or irritant hand dermatitis from harsh soaps or fragrances. Make sure you use gentle hand washes, moisturizer, and don’t over wash the hands. Use over the counter products such as the salicylic acid liquid or pads (Dr. Scholl’s or Compound W). If not helpful (or your sweating or hand irritation needs further treatment) make an appointment with a local board certified dermatologist.
