Warts on your child's face?

It is quite common to have warts on the face. Generally speaking, flat warts are caused by viral infection, and the highest incidence of flat warts is among teenagers. Flat warts are contagious in children. Therefore, it is best for children not to scratch them with their hands after suffering from flat warts to avoid spreading the disease to other parts of the body. Flat warts can be treated with laser freezing, which is very effective.

Signs before flat warts disappear

When the flat warts are about to disappear, the patient will see that the warts begin to become thinner, and they will protrude a higher part of the skin in the next few days. However, when the flat warts are about to heal, it will be found that they are gradually becoming flatter, and the color is fading day by day. However, before the flat warts disappear, many patients will suddenly experience some local symptoms, such as sudden redness of the skin at the site of the flat warts, signs of enlargement of the skin, and itching. It should be noted that if flat warts worsen, symptoms such as redness of the skin, enlargement of the rash, and itching may occur. Many patients find it difficult to distinguish whether this is a sign of improvement or a sign of worsening. Therefore, after these symptoms appear, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time for examination to determine which situation it is.

If the patient experiences itching symptoms, do not scratch it with your hands. Doing so will damage the skin of the wart and easily cause the flat warts to spread rapidly throughout the body. New flat warts will soon grow in places on the body where there are no flat warts.

What are the causes of flat warts?

Some patients develop flat warts due to viral infection. The pathogens that cause flat warts are similar to common warts. The virus that causes flat warts is called human papillomavirus. After being infected with this virus, many growths will grow on people's skin. This is a pathological change. These growths will form in the stratum corneum of the human skin. The basal cells of humans will also become over-keratinized due to the influence of the virus, which will cause abnormal proliferation and thickening of the epidermis. From the appearance, these are what we call warts.

Because flat warts are infectious diseases, many patients develop flat warts due to infection. If a person's skin or mucous membranes are damaged and infected with a virus, the virus will enter the cells. The viral cells will further replicate and proliferate in the body, causing abnormal proliferation of epithelial cells and eventually causing growths to appear on the skin surface.

Finally, when the human body's immunity is low, it is also susceptible to viral attacks. Once infected with human papillomavirus, it is very easy to cause flat warts.

Humans are the only host of the HPV virus. The virus lives in the human spinous cells and accelerates cell proliferation, eventually forming warts. Like many other viral diseases, there is an incubation period in the human body. Generally speaking, the incubation period of flat warts is 1 to 3 months. Because flat warts affect appearance, they can cause great mental stress to patients. In life, patients with flat warts need to pay attention to four major taboos.

The first taboo is to strictly control your hands and not scratch flat warts. If young people get flat warts, they always want to pick them off because they will affect their appearance. However, this kind of stimulation will only make the virus grow along the scratches. Patients with flat warts should try to reduce stimulation to the warts to prevent their large-scale spread.

The second taboo is not to use external skin ointments, but instead use antiviral drugs to treat flat warts. Many of our common topical hormone drugs can treat skin diseases such as eczema, but for flat warts, this type of drug will only suppress the skin's immune response, and the skin's resistance will be greatly reduced. Therefore, if this type of drug is used, flat warts will not only not be suppressed, but will also develop rapidly.

The third taboo is not to use laser to treat flat warts. This destructive treatment method can easily cause scarring and pigmentation if not performed properly.

The fourth taboo is that the patient must not be depressed. Human mental factors affect the immune function to a certain extent. Only by being in a good mood can we maintain the body's immunity and overcome the disease of flat warts as soon as possible.
