Does nail polish get rid of warts?
Warts are fungal in classification caused by a virus usually found on the extremities. These verruca vulgaris like areas that are prone to moisture. Hands/fingers get wet more than any other area on a regular basis and are a good source to root in! People who have diaphoresis, profuse or excessive sweating, could very conceivably develop warts on their necks, as their shirt collar would help keep the neck area moist and perfect for the growth of these horny projections on the skin.
Warts are caused by coming into contact with people or objects that people have touched. These people have a virus known as HPV, human papillomavirus. This virus causes skin cells to divide in a erratic manner resulting in warts.
A wart is a skin growth caused by some types of the virus called the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV infects the top layer of skin, usually entering the body in an area of broken skin. The virus causes the top layer of skin to grow rapidly, forming a wart. Most warts go away on their own within months or years.
Warts can grow anywhere on the body, and there are different kinds. For example, common warts grow most often on the hands, but they can grow anywhere. Plantar warts grow on the soles of the feet.
Warts are easily spread by direct contact with a human papillomavirus. You can infect yourself again by touching the wart and then touching another part of your body. You can infect another person by sharing towels, razors, or other personal items. After you've had contact with HPV, it can take many months of slow growth beneath the skin before you notice a wart.
Warts come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. A wart may be a bump with a rough surface, or it may be flat and smooth. Tiny blood vessels grow into the core of the wart to supply it with blood. In both common and plantar warts, these blood vessels may look like dark dots in the wart's center.
Warts are usually painless. But a wart that grows in a spot where you put pressure, such as on a finger or on the bottom of the foot, can be painful.
Wart treatment doesn't always work. Even after a wart shrinks or goes away, warts may come back or spread to other parts of the body. This is because most treatments destroy the wart but don't kill the virus that causes the wart.
Is it true if you touch a toad you is get warts?
Toads don't cause warts. Warts are caused by a virus that isn't found on toads.
Toads generally don't have warts. The lumps on their skin isn't disease, its how they're supposed to look.

Another way i personally figured out is to shave it down with sand paper, since the wart does not contain any sensory nerves it will not hurt until you get past the wart at which point, you stop.
yes they can but the virus is still in your body so you must try your best to keep your immune system in its best shape. According to cdc.gov and dr. hunter h. handsfield answer on medhelp as well as wikipedia, most HPV infections will be cleared up eventually by our own immune system.
Based on DNA PCR tests (that aren't available commercially, only for scientific journal purposes) most people who had HPV will have a negative test 2 years afterward. When i say most, they are 90% though, so the 10% will need 3-5 years or even more. Several people, like 1% or less, can't cure their HPV even after 10 years. Usually this is the type of people who gets cervical cancer from specific HPV strains (but keep in mind cervical cancer HPV strain and genital wart HPV strain aren't the same)
So what you can do is to treat the genital wart every time they recur but one day they will stop recurring. If you have been 6-8 months wart-free then you will be no longer contagious.
They can go away with treatment; but the virus is always in the body and can come back at any time.
