Common Warts on Face

My 5 yr old daughter and I both have common warts on our faces. We have been using Dr School's freeze away. They seem to go away for a little while but then they return. Her's are not as bad as mine. Mine are huge and ugly! I was told that they are related to HPV is that true and should I have her checked?

Hi,
Warts are common, and are caused by a viral infection, specifically by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are contagious when in contact with the skin of an infected person. It is also possible to get warts from using towels or other objects.
The wart often regrows after the skin has healed.Treatments that are prescribed usually are:
-Keratolysis, removal of dead surface skin cells usually using salicylic acid, blistering agents, immune system modifiers ("immunomodulators"), or formaldehyde, often with mechanical paring of the wart with a pumice stone, blade etc.
-Cryosurgery, which involves freezing the wart (generally with liquid nitrogen), creating a blister between the wart and epidermal layer, after which the wart and surrounding dead skin falls off by itself.
-Surgical curettage of the wart.
-Laser treatment.
I-miquimod, a topical cream that helps the body's immune system fight the wart virus by encouraging interferon production.
HPV has a lot of different strains and the common warts are not sexually transmitted.
