Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
Imiquimod is safe in viral warts. You can use it for the warts on your face.
If you want to avoid using it you can consult a dermatologist and get it removed by radiofreqency ablation.
It is a minor office procedure requiring 15-20 minutes.

Dr Asmeet
