Filiform warts are caused by infection with the human papilloma virus and are contagious. Filiform warts are found on the neck, eyelids, and underarms and are shaped like thin, filamentous wart-like projections.
The filiform warts can be transmitted directly or indirectly. If the mother has filiform warts and the child comes into contact with the warts, and if the child’s skin is broken, the virus can enter the skin epithelial cells through the skin mucous membrane wounds to carry out viral replication and proliferation, and the filiform warts can be transmitted indirectly through the contact with the items used.
It is recommended that family members with filiform warts should be treated promptly to avoid infecting others.
