Hi, i think i have genital warts, however i have never had sex or anything related to it. i did have a wart on my foot which i kept plastered all the time with a cream and a plaster, the only times i touched it was to apply a cream or plaster, i washed my hands afterwards, and especialy before i needed the loo or what not. i found a raises lump which ipicked and seemed t have a black thing in. could this have been from where a hair was growing?
please i am extremely worried.
Mostly warts are very specific to the body part they grow on. Genital warts only spread to other genitals, and foot warts only spread to other feet. The viruses that cause foot warts ("plantar warts") and genital warts are related but not exactly the same virus. So don't worry, the wart on your foot won't spread to your genitals! It's especially unlikely seeing how hygienic you were being.
If the raised lump had a black thing in it it is probably an ingrown hair, or a blackhead possibly (though around the genitals an ingrown hair is more likely).
If you haven't had sex it's pretty much impossible you'll have caught genital warts. I don't believe it's ever happened actually...
