Professional wart removal with laser

Hi everyone. I have a question about the HPV virus itself. If I get the wart lasered off, does that mean the virus is gone from my body? Or can I still spread it to other parts of my body or to other people? I know it's caused by a virus, so does the laser 'cure' the infection, or just remove the symptom?

This is the most important question. The answer is: Laser removes the visible wart (the symptom), but it does NOT remove the HPV virus from your body. The virus lives in the basal layer of the skin around the wart. Even after the wart is gone, you may still have viral particles in the 'clinically normal' skin surrounding the area. This means you can still spread the virus to other parts of your body (autoinoculation) or to other people via skin-to-skin contact. However, once the wart is removed, your immune system often 'wakes up' and clears the virus over time (months to a year). To reduce spread: Do not touch the area and then touch other body parts. Wash your hands obsessively. Do not share towels, razors, or shoes. Use a separate nail clipper for that foot. The good news: If the wart doesn't come back for 6-12 months, your immune system has likely suppressed the virus.

I had a plantar wart lasered off. The wart never came back. But I got a tiny wart on my finger six months later, probably because I touched my foot without washing my hands. The finger wart was small, and I killed it with one laser session. So yes, the virus can move. But laser is still the best option to kill the visible ones. To prevent spread, I bought a box of disposable gloves to use during the healing process. I also changed my socks twice a day. I haven't had a new wart in two years.
