Why do warts appear on my eyelids?

As already mentioned, most filiform warts that appear on the eyes or around the mouth are due to HPV. They are conditions that involve the epidermis, which is the outer layer of the skin.

The virus usually enters through tiny wounds, almost imperceptible to you. The Human Papillomavirus is infectious, and it can be transmitted when you share your towels, makeup tools, creams, lotions, or especially through sexual contact with another infected person.

However, the warts on your eyelids are not usually as aggressive as other warts, like those in the genital area.

You should only be careful not to share any makeup tools or the towels you use to dry off after a bath. Around the warts, capillaries that are very fragile and can be easily damaged arise, hence they are highly contagious.

Many times, you can infect yourself by manipulating the warts, so they can increase in size or develop new ones.

If I have warts on my eyes, does it mean I have HPV?

There are various types of warts that appear on your eyelids. Most are elongated, of the filiform type. Sometimes they take the form of a tree, with its small branches.

These types of warts often fall off your eyelids on their own, although most remain there for life if not treated.

It is not easy to differentiate one wart from another, as they are very similar. However, you should know that all warts that appear on the body are due to HPV. This means that perhaps in the future more warts may appear on other parts of the body, even in the genital area.

Home remedies to get rid of warts on eyes

Firstly, you should consult a professional specialist for an exact diagnosis without delay. There are warts that disappear on their own, although very few behave like this.

The vast majority remains forever and the best way to eliminate them is through treatment. Some people choose home remedies, but it is always recommended to implement them with the respective accompaniment of your doctor.

The most known are:

Apple cider vinegar: one of its components is acetic acid, a powerful exfoliant and a good natural remedy.
Garlic: garlic has many healing and natural properties for the body. In the case of warts, its juice is used as a lotion on the warts.
Lemon: its citric acid content causes the warts to dry up and fall off on their own.
Dandelion oil: just one drop daily is enough to dry up the warts on your eyelids.
Betulin: it is an extract that is obtained from birch and acts as an exfoliant.

Sometimes, you can find these products in the form of gels. However, warts treated at home do not disappear overnight. Therefore, keep in mind that the doctor will indicate the appropriate treatment and its duration.

These were some tips to help you know how to deal with HPV. However, there is much more you need to do if you really want to get rid of HPV and warts forever.

What you need to do is GET RID OF THE ROOT of the problem.

For that reason, I recommend you to look into Dr. Kirkland's story and how he was able to cure HPV and get rid of warts for good.

What medical treatments exist to remove the warts on my eyes?

The warts on the eyelids are not very difficult to remove. Although you should know that HPV is a disease that is not curable by traditional medicine and therefore, the warts can reappear (don’t worry, we’ll recommend something at the end so you know how to get rid of HPV).

Medical professionals recommend some topical creams that contain imiquimod or benzoyl peroxide which are faster than home remedies.

Another recommendation a doctor can make is to remove the warts through surgical means.

Filiform warts are attached to the skin by a very small stalk, so their extraction is simple. The extraction methods are outpatient and do not cause significant discomfort.

There are two procedures to remove the annoying warts from your eyelids:

1. Laser

It is 100% safe and does not damage areas adjacent to the damaged tissue. It is one of the most efficient methods for such a delicate area like your eyelids. Also, it is very fast and does not cause subsequent discomfort.

2. Surgery

It is performed with local anesthesia to remove the wart. Once the effect of the anesthesia passes, you can immediately go home and continue your life as it was before the surgery. The advantages of this method are being able to take the removed wart to the laboratory for analysis.

When to see a doctor?

One thing you should know is that the warts on your eyelids are not cancerous and will only cause you annoying and aesthetic problems.

You can treat these warts at home, however, you should see a doctor urgently if any of the following symptoms occur:

Bleeding occurs
You feel intense pain
You have irritation in your eyes

The warts on your eyelids, as already mentioned, are highly contagious and can cause irritation and itching, which is very annoying in itself.

If possible, cover the wart with a dressing, this can prevent contagion. And do not share your makeup tools or your towels.
