While you will frequently find warts on face and bodies of children, they can also be found on adults. Warts on body are a viral infection caused by the human papilloma virus. Warts are commonly one of two types – flat or common warts.

If you are really conscious of your facial warts this will certainly affect your self esteem. This may make you more inhibited and is likely to affect your social life and lead to unhappiness and the possibility of depression.

Some people have more than one wart on the face and this can change your appearance greatly. Some people will even avoid looking into mirrors because they are so unhappy with their visual appearance, even if others don’t see it as a issue, you do. However, you must use some logic and common sense, the warts on the face are certainly not as monstrous as you imagine.

Should you be really concerned, there are ways to get rid of them and to stop them returning.

Once you have got rid of them, and to help stop the virus returning, you need to improve your immune system. This is because your immune system will help fight any infection. You should eat a wholesome diet, drink plenty of water and make sure you get sufficient sleep. Cut down on caffeine and alcohol, and stop smoking as well. You should also try and stay as stress free as possible, which can be difficult in this day and age.

If your child has warts on the face, try and reassure them that most of them will disappear naturally, although it may take months or even a few years. Teach them the importance of inner beauty, helping others and building strong relationships with their peers.

Unfortunately, children are more likely to want to scratch their warts. This of course should be discouraged as it will spread the virus and cause even more warts to develop. Keep in mind that the virus is transferable, so keep this in mind when you are in places with high humidity such as swimming pools etc.

To conclude, if self-esteem is a real problem there are several ways to get rid of them. You could try over-the-counter medications, home cures and perhaps surgical procedures. Ask your health care provider for advice. Remember though, that many treatments, particularly of a surgical nature are likely to leave scar tissue – consider if that is preferred to the wart itself.
