Flat Warts are basically the same thing as regular hand warts, or warts that appear on your shoulders or chest, but most of the time these type of warts are commonly called Sunspots.

The warts are small brownish spots that look like freckles on the skin, they come from to much sun which causes the HPV virus, to react, or trigger the warts to come up to the top layer of skin. The warts were always there there are just different things that can trigger the warts to come up to the surface of the skin, and these warts sometimes can cause a type of skin cancer. The warts can be removed by many things ranging from the home remedies, like duct tape, to the doctor prescribed treatments like topical creams or different surgical procedures.

Many people don’t think nothing of these types of warts because most of the time they don’t know that they have these warts, most people think that these are “beauty” marks, which some people commonly call them, but there is nothing beautiful about a small build up of bacteria under the skin. Some people don’t even know that they have the flat wart, because they look so much like freckles, that they just think its another freckle they have. Even if some people have the, and know that they have them some people don’t even bother having them removed because they are not much of a hassle as different types of warts.

Many doctors prescribe different things like creams, and different things you could buy at your local drug store. There are many things out there that can get rid of these like the home freezing agent that acts like the procedure the doctor does, like cryosurgery. These things can be bought right over the counter at your local drug store, and really help people that don’t have the type of money to fork out to pay for a procedure to remove the warts. The duct tape treatment usually works on this type of warts as well, as the banana peel method.
