Identifying Facial Warts

There are two main types of warts that will normally appear on the face. The first is the Flat Wart and the second the Filiform Wart. Both are very different in appearance so identifying which type of facial warts you have should be relatively easy.

The best way to treat any type of wart is to leave it alone and let the body’s natural defensives take over and remove the HPV virus that has infected the body and caused the warts. However as this process can take years, people who are conscious of facial warts look for quicker removal methods. Because you are going to be treating the facial skin you need to be careful about what type of treatment you decide upon as the face tissue is very delicate and easily scarred.

Flat Warts on The Face

Flat warts are given this name because they appear on the face as flat or only slightly raised areas of tissue growth. They are small in appearance but normally come in groups that can cover large areas of the face as it would be unusual to have just one flat wart. Flat warts can vary in colour from natural skin tone to yellow and brown tinges. These types of warts are not at all harmful to your health. The Flat Wart is very common in children and teenagers and for this reason is often referred to as the juvenile wart.

Filiform Warts

Filiform Warts are unusual in their appearance in that they grow out of the skin and have small like tentacles. They are often found on the lips or eyelids but can form anywhere on the face. These warts are very contagious and grow quickly which is why a person is more likely to have a group of them rather than just one. Due to the way filiform warts grow they can easily be knocked which may lead to bleeding of the wart or irritation.

Causes of Warts on Face

As with all warts the human pap virus is responsible for their growth and depending on which strain of the virus you have caught will depend on which type of wart you can develop. The most likely cause of warts on face is contamination through small cuts or abrasion to the facial skin. The virus can be picked up on the hands and transferred to any broken or grazed skin on the body. Children tend to be more susceptible to warts as they are in close contact with other children in school.

Facial warts are very contagious and they are easily spread through touching the wart inadvertently, then touching other parts of the face. Shaving of the face is a classic way that these warts can spread. If you have facial warts and touch them you need to wash your hands so as not to spread the virus. Also do not let others use the same towel or items you use to clean your face.

Face warts will go away on their own accord and looking after the body is a good step in treating them from the inside. Warts are renowned for being linked to a low immune system which is why some people catch them and others don’t. Boost your immune system if you have warts with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit to help your natural defences fit the virus.

Facial Warts Treatment

Facial Warts are among the most difficult to treat purely because of the fact that they are on the face. Rubbing creams into them can cause the warts to spread to other parts on the face. Facial skin is thin and delicate so needs to be treated with care. Some products that contain strong ingredients may also irritate or scar the skin on the face but may be perfectly ok on other parts of the body that has thicker skin.

As face skin is soft it would be wise to start with natural treatments first which will be kinder to your skin.

Tea tree oil has also been said to work on warts and is relatively inexpensive natural oil. The only thing to be careful about is tea tree oil can dry out the skin and cause irritation to certain skin types. If you have filiform warts on the eyelids or lips it is advisable to seek medical advice before using any product.
