  • flat warts (verruca plana)is a contagious disease caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
  • If you treat it lightly, as if it were just a common blemish, and scratch or handle it improperly, it can quickly spread to the surrounding healthy skin, only prolonging the treatment period.

Precautions After Scab Laser Treatment

  • After the procedure, the scab that forms is a natural part of the skin’s regenerative process, during which it protects itself and promotes the growth of new skin.
  • How you manage this period will determine the effectiveness of pigment removal and whether scars or discoloration occur.
