Hi XXXXXXX

Warts are caused by HPV virus .They can spread with touch i.e. skin to skin contact.
They can multiply from one to two and to many.
Avoid touching the site.
They can be safely and effectively removed by RF cautery.
It is a simple office procedure done in OPD basis.After giving local anesthesia the wart can be removed by passing current through it.
Once done by experienced person they do not recur.

You can get it done at any qualified dermatologist clinic or you can get it done at any medical college like AIIMS or Safdarjung .

Hope this helps.

I will be available for follow up.
