FACIAL WARTS

Facial warts are typically caused by various types of human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus enters the skin through small cuts or wounds and proliferates, leading to the formation of warts.

Facial warts spread through direct skin-to-skin contact. They can also spread within a person's own body, for example, from one hand to the face through contact. Additionally, they can be transmitted through shared items such as razors, towels, or makeup tools. We know that warts can be transmitted to multiple areas through eyebrow threading threads in salons.

Facial warts are usually painless and can appear as raised, firm growths on the skin that resemble cauliflower or a flower bud. They are often flesh-colored or slightly darker. Some warts may contain black dots due to tiny blood vessels inside them.

Facial warts are generally harmless and mostly pose cosmetic concerns. However, if left untreated, warts can grow and disrupt the normal function of the skin. Some types of HPV, especially when found in the genital area, can lead to cancer. Facial warts are generally not caused by these types.

Therefore, a strong immune system can play an important role in preventing the formation of warts.

After the treatment of facial warts, it is important to avoid sun exposure as the skin will be new and sensitive, making it more susceptible to harmful UV rays.
