Go for a blood test to check for viral infection. This is more likely to be warts caused by HPV. Stop spreading it around.

It is caused by hair follicle, apply original constantly methylated spirit and it will disappear. It appears on my cheek later it melted away. Always apply methylation spirit after barbing

Greetings Sir.
Please, I will advice you not to tamper anything you observe growing on your face but rather go to the hospital. Please.

You might be saying why Sir? They are some growths that are not growth that you can just overlook, some can even KILL an individual.

Some might be some kind of growth that you can only get adequate treatment after a biopsy has been taken, even some can grown dangerously close or even on top of a nerve.

They are instances when people thought what they say is ordinary boil has killed an individual they know.

So please Sir, I will greatly advice you to pls go to the hospital.

Do have a pleasant day ahead Sir

Greetings. You are very welcomed, I wish you the best of the day.

Initially when it was little, I thought it was pimple, each time I remove it, it comes back until before I knew it, it grew to this extent. Please what can I rub on it to dry it up.
Rule of thumb, NEVER POP, PEEL OR OPEN any thing that looks like boil or pimple on any part of your body. I remember a baby grew a pimple on the face and mom wanted to pop it, I advised her against it, to just watch it's growth and to report to his doctor if she notice any negative changes. Thank God she listened. That "pimple" stayed on his face for 2 yrs. No changes in color, size, shape or texture just stayed and after 2 yrs it just disappeared. Many people have triggered some diseases by interfering with growth.
Go to your doctor and have it checked. Doctor not chemist shop.

I thought herpes appears only on the lips of one's mouth!

This is the answer you were seeking. This is obviously wart caused by Human papilloma virus. Get podophyllin wax at a reputable pharmacy and apply it twice daily for 5 days. It will peel off. It may recur after a few weeks/months; keep reapplying until it disappears. NB: it's highly contagious

Human papilloma virus is the same thing as herpes na, abi?
ManOfMan:
These are warts growing on your head. They are caused by human papilloma virus.

Apply Collomak Topical Solution on it 3 times daily. Within a month they will disappear.

HPV. You mean to say herpes?
What is the difference between the two?

Tie a rope tightly around it and allow it to fall off by itself.
,
Yes , you can, if you are sure its skin tags/warts and its painless, you will actually tie a thread tightly around it till it falls off ,and then you rub salt, aim to to it when you will be indoors, to avoid stares and explanations.

I am not a doctor which is why I stated testing needs to be done but it can likely be warts caused by human papillomavirus. Based on the difference between the two, I really don't know much as I believe this is a western disease which is in high occurrence there than in Africa. Based on research, I hear that majority of us have the virus(it could be herpes or hpv) but it is dormant waiting to be awaken causing potential harm to our body and we might not know. Hpv can cause cervical cancer, herpes can cause shingles... I am not an expert, one must be careful and no matter how we are careful, it seems there is no escape for everyone. It is just a matter of time anyone can have this disease. I reject such..
