From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Filiform Wart)

Digitate or filiform warts are warts that often appear on the eyelids, lips, face, or neck.[1]

A filiform wart on the eyelid.

The warts tend to grow directly outwards from the skin. They have a spiky, thread-like, or finger-like appearance. They sometimes look and feel like tiny brushes, making them especially uncomfortable for the patient.[2][3]

As with other wart types, several treatments are available, including laser therapy, cryotherapy, salicylic acid, and other topical treatments.[3]
