The difference between age spots and flat warts

Age spots refer to the spots on the face and body skin of the elderly. This is a natural physiological phenomenon, which is fundamentally different from flat warts. Flat warts can occur in diseased skin tissue. Flat warts generally have no subjective symptoms and can seriously affect a person's appearance. Whether it is age spots or flat warts, they can be treated through certain methods, such as laser treatment, paying attention to skin care in daily life, etc.

The difference between age spots and flat warts

1. When people are over 50 years old, they will have more or less age spots as they age, and the area will become larger and larger. The reason for this is that the elderly’s body is aging, the cell metabolism skills decline, and age pigment is formed. This pigment cannot be excreted normally, so it is deposited on the skin to form age spots. 2. Flat warts generally have no subjective symptoms. Some people seek medical treatment because of itching. They often occur on the face and back of the hands, seriously affecting the appearance. Flat warts are a sudden disease that usually has no warning signs. They mostly appear on the faces and injuries of teenagers. Unlike age spots, they have slight bumps, a relatively smooth surface, and local itching symptoms. This skin disease can be easily transmitted to others. Therefore, you must pay attention to hygiene at ordinary times and avoid scratching to prevent the virus in the damaged area from invading other parts and causing the expansion of the lesion.

What should I do if I have flat warts and age spots?

First of all, if you want to remove age spots, you must strengthen exercise. Older people can go out for a walk, do aerobics, and improve their physical fitness, which is good for removing age spots. At the same time, you should take vitamin E capsules, or puncture the capsule and apply it to the areas with age spots. This will be effective. Secondly, if you have flat warts, they will disappear on their own if you have good resistance. If you have poor resistance, you need to use some topical ointments, such as imiquimod ointment, tretinoin ointment, etc. for treatment. If the condition is serious, you can take isotretinoin capsules orally. As long as you follow the principles of medication, I believe you will get better soon. Then, you can eat more foods rich in vitamin E, such as cereals, beans, dark green plants, and animal foods such as liver, eggs and dairy products. Finally, for patients with flat warts, they should pay attention to protecting the skin of the affected area from damage, pay attention to personal hygiene, and avoid eating irritating foods such as fish, duck, coriander, etc.; for age spots, it is a manifestation of slowing human metabolism and gradual aging. If you are very concerned, you can undergo laser treatment, exercise appropriately, and eat a healthy diet.
