Filiform warts, or verruca filiformis, are distinctive lesions characterised by finger-like projections. Like other types of warts, they are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) and are contagious, most commonly appearing on the face and often occurring in isolation. They can be irritating or bothersome, so advanced electrolysis offers an effective treatment, precisely removing the lesion and resulting in a smooth finish.
