The main risks of flat warts in women include:
1. Aesthetic impact: Flat warts commonly occur on visible areas such as the forearms, back of the hands, and face. They are usually brown or skin-colored and may continue to increase in number, significantly affecting appearance. Especially when appearing on the face, they can easily cause psychological distress.
2. Psychological stress: As flat warts are contagious, patients may experience social pressure due to concerns about transmitting the infection to family members or friends. Over time, this can lead to negative emotions such as anxiety and自卑 (self-consciousness/inferiority).
3. Skin problems: As the condition progresses, flat warts may cause localized itching. If patients frequently scratch them, it can lead to skin damage, resulting in redness, scarring, and other skin issues.
4. Risk of transmission: Flat warts can spread not only through direct contact but also indirectly through shared personal items such as towels and brushes, increasing the risk of infecting others.
5. Potential complications: Flat warts that remain untreated for a long time may lead to other complications, such as mild pain, fever, and, in rare cases, even malignant transformation.
