Five Treatments To Get Rid Of Flat Warts

Flat warts are another common manifestation of human papillomavirus (HPV), which often affects the younger part of the population. Flat warts are a small lesion in the skin. They are slightly raised, reddish / brownish in color, and are characterized by having a flat and wart-like surface.

They often appear on parts of the face, but they also tend to be found on the hands and neck.
