Plantar warts are mainly spread through direct contact or, and indirect contact.
Plantar warts are common warts on the soles of the feet caused by human papilloma virus infection.
1. Direct contact: direct contact of the skin with the patient’s warts may result in the spread of plantar warts, which can be infected.
2. Indirect contact: for example, using the shoes, socks, footbaths, foot wipes used by the patient, or walking barefoot on the ground where the patient with plantar warts has walked, such as public baths, swimming pools, locker rooms and other public places.
You should pay attention to your personal hygiene, avoid using public shoe trays, public towels, bed sheets, etc. to avoid close contact with the patient and reduce the way of cross-infection.
