It's not an STD, but it is most definitely contagious. HPV type 1 causes warts on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. Warts caused by HPV type 1 can disappear on their own, although this process can take months or years, or not even happen at all. If this is the case, talk to your doctor. Prescribed treatment will likely be topical (salicylic acid, liquid nitrogen), using products such as Compound W. Upon failure of topical treatment, surgical curettage or laser treatment may be required.
In case you're wondering, HPV types 6 and 11 are the usual culprits for cases of genital warts, causing around 90% of all cases.
