Patient/caregiver was educated on measures to prevent development of warts as follows:

• Individuals with warts involving the feet must always have shoes on outdoors. With involvement of sole of foot, wearing clean socks or flip-flops while indoors can help prevent the risk for transmitting the virus to new source. Individuals with a family member having warts on the sole of foot must also wear protective footwear indoors, to avoid contact with the wart virus.
• Having shoes or flip-flops on while using gym locker rooms and public showers is a good practice to avoid contact with the virus causing warts.
• Individuals having warts on the face and chin must avoid sharing any cosmetic products, shaving blades, and razors with others to prevent the spread of the virus.
• Shaving on the wart site and running the razor on healthy skin can lead to viral spread to healthy skin sites and development of new warts. So, avoid shaving on the wart site to avoid viral spread to healthy skin.
