Detailed description
Flat warts are benign skin lesions caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, appearing as small, flat-topped papules (growths) on the skin. They are common in children and young adults.
The course of flat warts is slow, and they may resolve spontaneously within two years, with a few patients experiencing recurrence.
Due to their contagious nature, early treatment is recommended. Treatment options include medication and cryotherapy.
