Depends on type: There is more than one type of warts and treatment, if any needed, would depend on the type of wart. It would be prudent to see your pediatrician. You may visit this site for information: https://www.aafp.org/afp/2003/0315/p1233.html
Wish you and your baby good health!

Warts ???: Although possible it is unusual for a kid to have wart on their face. There is a wart like cousin called molluscum, which is more short term & often falls off within a year. If true warts, destruction with chemicals or freezing is the more common practice. All would leave scars of variable size. I would consult a peds/dermatologist on what it is & then decide on treatment if indicated.
