A member asked:
Please tell me can face warts be removed by antifungal/antibacterial creams?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Warts are caused by a virus. Creams or pills for bacteria or fungus or yeast are of no value. Warts on the face are not uncommon, and the wrong treatment can cause them to spread. Over the counter (non prescription) wart treatments can scar your face...DO NOT USE THEM. See a dermatologist, an expert skin doctor, for correct treatment.
