Verrucas, which are a type of wart caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), can still spread even when covered with a plaster. While a plaster may provide some physical barrier, it is not completely impermeable to the virus, and moisture can allow the virus to escape. It's essential to keep verrucas covered and practice good hygiene to minimize the risk of spreading the infection to others or to different areas of your own skin. For effective treatment, consult a healthcare professional for appropriate options.
