Will the wart virus spread to my nose ?

I froze off a wart and a blister formed on my hand where it was. I rubbed my nose absentmindedly and the blister popped on my nose. I immediately washed my nose and hands and used an antiseptic wipe on both after as well. Will the virus spread to my nose ?

It is very unlikely. But HPV viruses can affect different parts of the body. It is not impossible. the blister is due to tissue damage from the cryotherapy. HPV viruses are passed by skin to skin contact. So even if you didn't have a blister , there is still chance of transmission touching other parts of your skin with your hand. So if it hasn't happened so far, its unlikely to.
