See a dermatologist to confirm the spot is a wart and not another skin condition
Do not pick, scratch, or shave over the wart
Wash hands after touching the area
Avoid sharing towels, razors, or makeup
Use only face-safe treatments recommended by a doctor
Ask about prescription topical treatments
Ask about cryotherapy performed by a professional
Ask about laser treatment if needed
Ask about minor surgical removal if appropriate
Do not use over-the-counter wart removers on the face unless a doctor says it is safe
Protect the skin from sun exposure during treatment
Stop treatment and seek medical advice if the area becomes very red, painful, or infected
Get checked promptly if the growth changes shape, color, bleeds, or spreads
