Genetics
There is no direct link between face warts and genetics. However, some studies have shown that certain genetic factors may make some people more susceptible to face warts. For example, one study found that people with fair skin were more likely to develop face warts than people with dark skin. Another study found that people with a weakened immune system due to a genetic condition were more likely to develop face warts.
However, some people’s immune systems cannot clear the infection, and warts may develop for these people. Sometimes, warts go away on their own without treatment for months or years. But in other cases, they may stick around for much longer, which is where genetics come into play.
You can do a few things to reduce your risk of developing face warts. First, avoid touching your face if you have any cuts or scrapes on your hands. Second, don’t share towels, makeup brushes, or other personal items with someone with face warts. Finally, practice safe sex by using condoms or dental dams; this will help protect you from HPV and other sexually transmitted infections.
