Patient's question:
Doctor, I had a few filiform warts on my body even before I got pregnant. The dermatologist said they were caused by low immunity and are also a virus. During pregnancy, the warts have grown significantly, appearing on my neck, chest, breasts, and even the nipple. Could this virus affect the baby's bone development? I am already seven months pregnant, and an ultrasound showed no abnormalities, with normal fetal movement. The dermatologist said breastfeeding could very likely transmit the virus to the baby. Should I consider refusing breastfeeding? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Mothers-to-be should consult a professional doctor when treating filiform warts. Avoid any treatments that could affect the baby. Additionally, special attention should be paid to daily protection. Wash hands frequently, and avoid scrubbing hard during showers to prevent minor skin injuries that could provide an opportunity for the virus to take hold. If there are wounds on the skin, proper cleaning should be done.
