All You Need To Know About FILIFORM WARTS

Warts are usually being classified based on their physical appearances and their location on the body. For instance, filiform warts, which are located on the face, tend to grow on a stalk and have a leaflike appearance.

Filiform warts are actually facial warts. They are long slender, usually colorless and most frequently appear on the face, neck, or eyelids. They can be found either singularly or in groups. They are, fortunately, non-cancerous growths and are not dangerous or life-threatening.

Like other warts, filiform warts are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus. This virus gets into the deep layers of the skin and causes it to grow too rapidly which results in a wart. You can get this virus through contact - either with another person that has the virus or with an object that someone who has the virus has used. Therefore, it is never a good idea to share personal effects like razors, makeup or skin cloths with anyone else.

First hand contact with another person may also results in the transmission of the virus from one host to another. This can occur when the filiform wart comes into contact with another person and has the potential to spread the virus to the individual who touches it. This often occurs between children when they take part in team games such as football.
