Removing a Wart
Question
Is it permissible for a man to remove a wart from his back, or is that considered something that only women do?
Answer
Shalom uVracha
There is no prohibition of lo yilbash (the Torah’s ban on cross-dressing).
This is not like removing body hair, which is a type of beautification typically associated with women. Removing a wart is a type of grooming that is also common among men.
