Flat warts are a common dermatological disease that often appear on the face, neck, and backs of the hands, caused by a viral infection of the skin. For the treatment of flat warts, it is suggested to use laser, cryotherapy, or oral interferon medications. If one aims to completely eliminate flat warts, using laser and cryotherapy is relatively effective. However, no matter the method, there is always a possibility of recurrence. Thus, it is crucial to enhance one's own immunity. Additionally, it is advised to eat more vegetables and fruits in the diet.

Is flat wart serious?

Flat warts are caused by an infection with the human papillomavirus, commonly known as HPV. This disease currently has a particularly high incidence rate, with most people having one or more flat warts on their skin. Once they appear, they can be completely cured with proper treatment. This condition is not considered particularly severe, but it is highly contagious and recurrent. When bathing at home, it's important to use separate towels or washcloths from other family members to prevent cross-infection. It is also advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods, avoid staying up late, exercise regularly, and strengthen the immune system for a faster recovery from the disease.

Signs before the regression of flat warts

Signs before the regression of flat warts include slight itching in some people, or a numb sensation in others. During the healing process of flat warts, immune cells repair the local skin lesions and release inflammatory factors, causing mild itching. The rash of the flat warts will also turn red, gradually shrink, and then scab over. If the flat warts have been treated with liquid nitrogen freezing or laser, there might be some pain before they regress. However, before the regression of flat warts, many people do not show any special symptoms and most people's flat warts regress unknowingly. The occurrence of flat warts is due to a viral infection, and they can be removed under the guidance of a doctor using liquid nitrogen freezing treatment or laser methods.

How to treat flat warts around the eyes.

Flat warts are caused by human papillomavirus infection, and they exhibit strong contagiousness and a tendency to recur. If they are located near the eyes and are relatively few in number, direct treatment with a laser can be employed. After the laser treatment, antiviral medication should be applied locally. Additionally, it is advisable to take some medications to enhance immune function, engage in regular exercise, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. If there are many warts and long-term treatment has been ineffective, immunotherapy for warts can be considered. This involves removing the warts and embedding the antigens and antibodies subcutaneously to stimulate the body's own antibody production against the virus. If this still does not yield satisfactory results, long-term treatment with oral and topical medications can be used, though this method requires persistence over an extended period.
