can you get get genital warts from masturbating if you have a hand wart?

ok this is going to sound stupid but I'm scared, I have a wart [it might not be a wart, but I think it is, getting it removed soon] on my finger that I forgot about, i masturbated and now I'm freaking out. I'm a virgin, and I heard you can only get it from having sex with someone, but im really worried?

Help?

Thanks

Genital warts and a wart on your finger are two entirely different things. Genital warts are caused by certain strains of HPV and are only transmitted by contact with someone else that has them.

However you can give yourself just a normal wart by touching any area including your genitals or mouth.

All warts are caused by HPV but genital warts are certain strands. A normal wart will be dry and hard and can be found anywhere on your body. A genital wart will be softer and moist and around your genitals or mouth.

Asked my husband since I found the question so interesting. He's a physician.

Don't listen to Kathryn; not all warts are caused by Herpes simplex virus. For instance, HPV and many others.
Type in your question, while you're sitting at your computer, anyway.
God bless.

No, i dont believe you can, genital warts come from sexual contact with someone with warts or if you already had genital warts.

Your fine dont stress

Only of there is an open lesion on your wart. All warts or cold sores are caused by Herpes Viruses, so they can be spread to various body parts that way.
