Keep in mind that you have a 50/50 chance of having a wart return after it’s been removed. You will improve your odds by maintaining a clean personal environment, which includes cleaning your home shower frequently, wearing flip flops at public pools and showers. Don’t go barefoot at heavily trafficked areas like an airport security screening area or a hotel room. In these cases, wear socks whenever possible. Genetics plays a role in whether you will be prone to warts. If warts are something that appears to run in your family, it’s even more important that you take steps to prevent them.
