Close Contact with an Infected Person
Face warts are transmitted through skin-to-skin contact with someone who has the virus. For example, you can catch the virus by touching a surface someone with the virus has touched, such as a doorknob or a towel.
An individual can also catch it by sharing makeup or personal care products with someone with the virus. The virus enters the body through cuts, scratches, or other breaks in the skin. Once the virus is inside the body, it takes about two to three weeks for a face wart to form.
The best way to prevent face warts is to avoid touching the face unless you’ve just washed your hands. It is also crucial to remember not to share personal care products with others. It is critical to moisturize regularly and protect the skin from injury for individuals with eczema or another skin condition that causes the skin to be dry and cracked. Individuals with an immunocompromised condition must consult a doctor about ways to boost immunity and prevent infection.
