A member asked:
Are warts on the upper face area and around the eyes usually caused by sexual contact? i notice them a lot on people. people seem otherwise ok.

No: Sexually transmitted HPV warts are habitat specific.They are specific to the genital skin or the lips (in the immunodeficient). The rest of the skin surface of the body are prone to the common wart.

Not really: warts can be mistaken for skin tags and not all warts are sexually transmitted.
