How long can the plantar's wart HPV virus live outside the body?

Question:

I found one on the bottom of my foot recently. It's a pretty small wart and doesn't hurt. I'm gonna use the Dr Scholl's stuff on it pretty soon. I just wanna know how long it lasts outside the body, since my bare feet have been been moving around my room and house and touching my chair/blanket.

Aside from that, we keep our house a clean environment that's generally cool and dry-ish in home humidity.

Answers:
If your concerned the wart on your foot is caused by HPV you should see your physician and have it checked. The only way he can check it is to have the wart tested by a lab.

HOWEVER, I seriously doubt there is any correlation between your plantar wart and HPV. I have never seen any medical research/studies that indicated a plantar wart on any part of your body (foot, elbow, etc...) is related to HPV. Have you been diagnosed with HPV? Why do you think the wart on your foot is caused by HPV?
