Warts on the neck are very common and harmless. Because the skin on your neck is quite sensitive, you should avoid strong over-the-counter wart treatments designed for hands or feet, as they can cause scarring. It is best to have a healthcare provider confirm they are warts and not skin tags. For neck warts, a doctor may prescribe gentle topical treatments like imiquimod cream or a retinoid. Alternatively, quick in-office treatments like cryotherapy (freezing) are highly effective and safe for this delicate area. Avoid picking or scratching them to prevent spreading the virus. A quick consultation will help determine the best path forward.
