Do common warts ever come back?
Most of the time, treatment of warts on the skin is successful and the warts are gone for good. Your body’s immune system can usually get rid of any tiny bits of wart that may be left after a wart has been treated. Genital warts are more likely to come back because there’s no cure for the virus that causes them and because warts are more difficult to control in a moist environment. If warts come back, see your doctor to talk about other ways to treat them.
