Question 6

say if u ever had herpes can the wats go away when u wash your face?

Accepted Answer

Confusing question: Herpes and warts are different problems. Warts are rare on the face, and I doubt you have them. Warts do not clear up with washing, whether you also have herpes (either oral or genital). It sounds like you need to see a doctor or clinic for advice and to learn more about these conditions. An NHS GUM clinic would be an excellent place for highly expert, lifestyle-sensitive care. Good luck!
