Suggest Remedy For Warts On The Faces

i have warts on my faces, not excatly like moles bt black spots which were though present before but were light. few months back i noticed more small light spots like warts on my hands and legs , the spots already present on face are dark now.... and this really look bad. i consulted a doctor they said they cant stop them, the only solution is laser. they suggested to stay away from sun, use sunscreen etc. though my daily routine is like i dont go outside in sun much, i dont know what to do, i dont want to use laser as a treatment. and my spots are getting darker and they are increasing also. my sister also encountered some on my scalp.. which were not there earlier, the only medication i used on scalp was minoxidil soln. for hair problem. though i stopped using it because i thougt may be it is the reason which triggered all this. please tell what to do.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have warts on the face hands and legs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like pityriasis alba , tinea versicolor , rosacea , vitiligo , impetigo and hormonal changes. Need not to worry much. you should avoid exposure to sunlight. I would suggest you to avoid any kind of cosmetic product , apply only petroleum jelly and take benadryl twice a day . You should consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order allergy test, skin patch test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may order anti bacterial , corticosteroid ointment and anti fungal .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
