This is a viral infection, and spread by contact. It is spread to other sites by self inoculating when they itch or prick them. If only few lesions, we can wait for spontaneous resolution. Many lesions disappear in 6-9 months. When indicated, treatment usually includes chemical or electrical cauterisation. Side effects of these treatment are less common and not serious. Avoid sharing towel with others until resolution
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
