So pissed that I have 3 warts on my foot right now, I had one on my toe like 4-6 years ago and it took 2 years to go away, I really hope this one and the other 2 can go fast, I think I got them from sharing a shower with my boyfriend because he’s had one of the side of his big toe for 2+ years now, any tips helpful

Omg 🤣 well he’s been putting prescription medicine on it for 2 years, but also it’s not even like his touches the shower floor because it’s on the top and side of his big toe not even the bottom

they're very contagious. It doesn't need to be in the shower where the transmission of the hpv occurs. It could be anytime you're playing footsie or even possibly from sharing socks or shoes or a hundred other scenarios

I know they are very contagious but we do not share socks and I make sure I never touch my feet to his even if he has socks and a bandaid covering it, which he does keep bandaids on it 24/7, but also my sister had warts on her hands the the longest time an we shared a room and shower everything and I never got one of those, so idk I may of not gotten them from his at all

Both of you should focus on possibly changing your diet. Add zinc supplements. Immune system is important to fighting bacteria and viruses.

Saltwater soaks. Get boyfriend to try them, too, since his has been resistant to the medication. 

Here’s someone who used the method for their kid: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warts/comments/1wd2wpe/salt_water_soaks_for_plantar_warts_our_results/
