description Warts are common benign skin tumors caused by human papilloma viruses. Recalcitrant facial warts tend to be cosmetically embarrassing to patients and difficult to treat for doctors. Recently, intralesional immunotherapy by antigens like Bacille Calmette–Guerin vaccine, candida antigen, and measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine has shown promising efficacy. Here, we report two cases of Omani men who presented with recalcitrant facial warts that resolved completely with a single intralesional injection of the MMR vaccine.
