Can warts and verrucas come back after successful treatment?
Yes, warts and verrucas can come back even after successful treatment. This is because the virus that causes them can remain in the skin and may reactivate later. Additionally, new infections can occur if the virus is encountered again.
Key points:
- The virus can stay dormant in the skin after treatment.
- New infections can arise from contact with the virus.
- Factors like stress or a weakened immune system may contribute to recurrence.
- Warts and verrucas are contagious and can spread to others.
