Flat warts on the face are most commonly caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. They are typically treated using physical modalities, such as laser therapy or cryotherapy, which can effectively remove the warts. During treatment, proper local wound care is essential; patients should avoid scratching or rubbing the affected area to prevent secondary infection.
