Diagnosis of warts

John L. Bezzant,M.D.

Warts on the face are often flat, measure 1 to 5 mm in diameter, and sometimes are slightly darker than normal skin. Treatments include: 1) freezing the warts for about 5 seconds. 2) applying Retin-A 0.1% cream twice daily until they resolved. 3) applying Efudex 5% cream twice daily until they resolve.
