AB Despite  all  the  advances  in  antiviral  therapy  and  the  body's  efficient  immune  system,  the  viruses  that  cause  common  skin  infections  continue  to  evade  complete  destruction.  The  herpes  simplex  and  herpes  zoster  virus  can  persist  in  a  dormant  state  in  the  dorsal  root  ganglia.  The  viruses  that  cause  verrucae  vulgaris  (common  warts)  and  molluscum  contagiosum  can  persist  for  months  to  several  years  in  the  epidermis.
