Very unlikely: First, facial warts (papillomas) are rare. Most skin bumps on the face have other causes. Second, human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that causes warts, is not so easily transmitted. In general, the virus has to be massaged into the exposed tissues for infection to take hold; or it requires exposure to infected wet fluids. That's why genital warts mostly occur at sites of friction during sex.
