Man, I never thought I'd be reading about this here, but hey, it's a legit concern. First off, props to you for thinking ahead instead of just assuming it's no big deal. Warts might seem harmless, but they’re still caused by a virus, and viruses love to spread.
From what I’ve learned, the HPV strains that cause warts on your hands aren’t usually the ones that cause genital warts. But "usually" doesn’t mean "never." If there's even a small chance of spreading it, why take the risk? I’d recommend keeping that finger out of the equation until the wart is completely gone. You can train yourself to use your other hand for now—consider it a new skill.
Also, take care of that wart ASAP. There are plenty of ways to treat it, from over-the-counter stuff to dermatologist treatments. The sooner it’s gone, the sooner you won’t have to worry about it. Plus, it’s just annoying having a wart anywhere, let alone one you’re constantly thinking about.
If you're still uneasy about it, see a doctor just for peace of mind. They can tell you exactly what kind of wart it is and whether it’s anything to be concerned about. No shame in making sure everything is good down there!
