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.

How is flat wart caused?

The fundamental cause of flat warts is due to viral infection, primarily by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Flat warts can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact and can spread between individuals, especially when there are skin lesions or injuries, which make it easier to contract. After contracting flat warts, it is recommended to seek timely treatment, which can be administered through laser or cryotherapy. It is important to maintain hygiene and cleanliness, avoiding sharing towels, bath towels, etc., with others.

Can people with flat warts eat eggs?

Flat warts can be eaten with eggs. Eggs are to be avoided by some patients with allergic diseases who are sensitive to eggs; some people are allergic to egg whites, while others may react to egg yolks. However, the pathogenesis of flat warts is not related to allergies. It is a viral disease caused by infection with HPV type 3 virus, commonly found on the face and forearms. The typical skin lesions are rice grain or soybean-sized, flat, elevated papules that are round or oval-shaped. The surface is smooth and hard, with a normal skin color or light brown, often appearing suddenly in large, dense numbers. After scratching, the lesions can appear bead-like, arranged along the direction of scratching, forming an autoinoculation reaction. Thus, the worsening of flat warts is due to scratching and self-spreading; the more one scratches, the more warts appear. The condition of flat warts is related to the individual's immunity. When immunity is low, it’s easier to be infected. When immunity is high, resistance is stronger, and some patients may see the warts resolve on their own, although a few may relapse. Therefore, eating eggs is unrelated to flat warts.
