What causes warts on the body

Warts on the body are mainly caused by viral infections. They are shaped like growths and often occur in people over 30 years old. The incidence rate in women is higher than that in men. In terms of current treatment, the main thing is to check the cause first, and then choose the corresponding treatment method based on the specific cause of the examination, because it is difficult to cure if not diagnosed.

Causes of filiform warts

Filiform warts are small, thread-like growths that occur on the superficial surface of the skin, commonly known as thread warts. This disease is called filiform warts in Western medicine. This type of wart is highly contagious and can connect into pieces, causing symptoms such as disfigurement. Currently, international methods for treating filiform warts include laser cauterization, liquid nitrogen freezing, and surgical resection.

Causes of Filiform Warts:

1. Filiform warts are caused by human papillomavirus, a small DNA virus that can be inherited, contagious, and cancerous. Therefore, timely diagnosis and treatment are required after discovery.

2. The skin lesions appear as brown or light brown, slender, soft, pedunculated growths, ranging in number from a few to hundreds. They are contagious and affect appearance. It often occurs on the eyelids, neck, chin and scalp. The rash is a single, soft, thread-like protrusion that is skin-colored or light brown, like a small nail standing upside down on the skin surface. Generally no symptoms.

3. The most common areas for filiform warts are sensitive areas such as the scalp, face, and neck.

4. In the early stage of filiform warts, filamentous growths will grow, which is the only reason why filiform warts are different from other wart diseases. Filiform warts usually appear singly. The warts are slender and soft, and are mostly flesh-colored or brown in color.
