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.

Difference between Sebaceous Nevus and Flat Warts

Sebaceous nevus is primarily associated with localized epidermal growth and development, and is a type of benign hyperplasia. Most people are affected from birth or at a very young age, generally limited to one area and do not spread massively or contagiously across the body. Flat warts are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, which are contagious and recurrent, and can appear all over the body, not just in one area. Flat warts are generally dot-like or circular, whereas sebaceous nevi are mostly linear in growth, becoming larger and more proliferative over time. The most common treatment for sebaceous nevus is surgical removal, while flat warts can be selectively removed using laser treatment.

Can people with flat warts eat eggs?

Patients with flat warts can eat eggs. Flat warts are benign growths caused by human papillomavirus infection of the skin and mucous membranes. They are flat, raised papules commonly seen in children and adolescents. Common sites include the face, the backs of the hands, and the forearms. Typical lesions are flat papules the size of rice grains to soybeans, round or oval in shape, numerous and dense. The course of the disease is chronic, and some patients may see the warts disappear on their own, but a few may experience recurrent outbreaks. Recurrent outbreaks of flat warts are related to a decrease in the body's immune system. Therefore, eating eggs regularly can appropriately enhance immunity, which may help to some extent in preventing the recurrence of flat warts.

Flat warts are treated in the dermatology department.

Flat warts are caused by human papillomavirus infections. They are highly contagious and recurrent, and most people do not respond well to long-term treatment. It is essential to seek treatment at a regular hospital's dermatology department. You can visit the dermatology department of the local hospital, where the doctor can examine the condition and then develop a treatment plan. If there are fewer warts, laser treatment can be chosen; if there are many, oral and topical medications can be used; other options include wart burial or wart immunotherapy. It is also beneficial to prevent recurrence by strengthening exercise, enhancing immunity, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods, and avoiding staying up late.

Do eye flat warts have to be removed?

Flat warts are caused by a papillomavirus infection and are highly contagious and prone to recurrence. If flat warts appear around the eyes, it is recommended to remove them as soon as possible, otherwise they may continue to increase in number and size, making treatment more difficult later on. If there are only a few warts at the beginning, you can go to a dermatology department in a formal hospital and have them removed directly with a laser. If there are many warts, the effect of laser treatment may not be very good, and it may be appropriate to use some antiviral medications and take some immune-boosting medications. If the results are still not satisfactory, it is advised to visit a dermatology department at a formal hospital for wart burial, which is part of an effective immunotherapy for warts. Regularly strengthen exercise, enhance immune response, avoid spicy and irritating food, and try not to stay up late.
