1. Filiform Warts - What Are the Characteristics of These Types of Warts?
Filiform warts are long and narrow rapid growing tumors of the outer skin layer. These
tumors are however non-cancerous and so pose no real danger. Filiform warts are usually
finger-like shaped and project themselves from the skin. They can more easily be found
in certain areas such as on the:
• Face
• Eyelid
• Nose
• Lips
• Chin
• Neck
They are more common in elder children than any other age group. They may sometimes
itch or even bleed when they become irritated. This usually happens when they are
intentionally scratched or when they are accidentally rubbed against clothing.
In certain areas where they may be easily hit, they may create some discomforts and be a
problem.
A filiform wart is caused by a viral infection. This viral infection is caused by the human
papilloma virus or HPV for brevity.
A filiform wart is contagious. It may be transmitted:
• From an area to another area of the same body
• Directly From an individual to an individual
• Indirectly from an individual to another individual
Transmission form an area to another area of the same body can occur when the
individual scratches the filfiorm wart and touches other parts of the body. This may
transmit the HPV, resulting in another growth in other areas.
Direct contact with another individual may result is transmission of the virus. This occurs
when another wart of another individual is touched. This many easily happen in children
when they are playing team games such as football or basketball.
Touching an object touched by another person can also result in contamination. This may
happen when individuals use the same towel to dry their faces. The HPV may be
transferred from the face of another individual to another resulting in a filiform wart.
Filiform warts generally go away by themselves after several months or a few years.
