What are the signs that a flat wart is about to resolve spontaneously?
Disease description:
My child is 26 years old this year. Recently, red rashes have appeared on the body accompanied by frequent itching. I suspect it might be flat warts. I would like to know what signs indicate that flat warts are about to resolve spontaneously?

Multiple obvious signs often appear before the spontaneous resolution of flat warts. The number of skin lesions will gradually decrease, or even disappear completely, which is the most direct signal of self-healing. Localized itching will be significantly reduced, indicating that the inflammatory and immune responses are subsiding. The warts will gradually shrink in size and may become dry, scaly, or start to peel, eventually leaving behind only faint brown pigmentation. In addition, the surface of the affected skin will gradually become smoother, indicating that the skin is returning to its normal condition. These signs indicate that the flat warts are progressing toward spontaneous resolution. However, it should be noted that the time required for self-healing varies among individuals, and some patients may still require medical intervention.
