Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
If I have plantar warts on my hands and feet, can I have oral sex without protection? And can I have unprotected sex? Any more precautions that I should know about, kindly suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com
I have read your query and understand your concern. By your descriptions it seems you have palmoplantar warts, yes you can have oral sex, but you should not touch his or her genitalia otherwise it can spread to others. Wart occurs due to one of these reasons, say pricking, thorn, or from another person if the virus gets into your skin. The virus stays there and slowly grows. Also, the wart is infectious, that is, after touching a wart if you touch it anywhere else you can get a wart there too. So the most important advice is 'do not touch at all'. Wart has to be removed as early as possible before it spreads much. It can be removed by radio frequency cautery which burns the wart and is removed. I hope you find this helpful.
Thank you.
