Have noticed some spots clustered on my finger and I certain its warts, I have no idea how i have got them but as now concernered I could pass them onto my baby. What can I do to get rid if them and should I keep them covered with a plaster or something in the mean time??

Thanks and think I might name change to WitchWhoLovesbeingAMummy!!!!!

No. You cant pass them on,you can buy stuff over the counter or get them burnt off at docs.(or used to be able to) I had some years ago and they had just vanished one morning.

Sorry but is that right snala? I thought you could pass them on.

I;d advise calling NHS24, it's what they're there for.

My dd (6yo) had a wart on her finger. We were given some Salactol to try and it worked a treat!

It said it could take up to 12 weeks to go and it was gone after 4 applications.

I too thought you can pass them on, but I'm certainly no medical expert.

Hope you get them cleared up

Sorry was wrong! just looked it up. they can be contagious but are harmless.Several different types too.I agree with lowrib phone them or see g.p.
