Verrucas please help me ?

I have verrucas which I caught off my dad via the infection staying in the shower.. I want to buy a verruca sock or flip flops when I shower or go to the pool.. But I'm scared that when I take them off the infection will then be on the flip flop/sock and then when I wear it again the infection will touch my foot again and therefore give me more verrucas? Would I have to bleach my sock/flip flop to get rid of the contagious infection before wearing it again? I'm not sure if you can re catch your own verruca infection or if you can only catch other people's but it would make sense if you could as you can other people's and it's all the same infection right? Someone please answer I'm desperate thankyou!!

    No need to be worried after wearing either the shoes or socks wash them and there you go clean and ready to wear again..

    Treatmnt of warts depends on the location the type and severity plus the time frame these warts have been present.Most common warts will disappear in about 2 yrs,An application of salicylic or lactic acids may help the warts disappear a bit faster.Ahealth care provider can freeze the warts off an area with liquid nitrogen however this may have to be repeted 2-3 weeks to get the warts gone for good.Electrodesiccation (a treatment that uses electric current) or laser surgery can distroy the warts,but this could cause scarring. Regardless of the treatment method,about a third of the time the warts come back.Another treatment health care providers use is trichloroacetic acid or cantharidin which destroys the wart(s)however new warts may crop up around the edges of the old one.This must be a planters wart,,these are flattened by the pressure of walking,standing on the feet,and are surrounded by thickened skin.
