Brief Answer:
Dermatosis papulosa Nigra
Detailed Answer:
Thank you. I have viewed the Images.
These are NOT warts. They are Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN)- benign epidermal growths that occur most commonly on face. Most patients also have an affected family member, so there is an genetic predisposition. They can grow in number over a period of time but mostly remain small in size. Nevertheless, they can be easily removed, with an excellent cosmetic result, either with a laser or with radiofrequency cautery machine.
Take care. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Brief Answer:
Dermatosis papulosa nigra

Chances of some post inflammatory hyperpigmentation if you don't use a sunscreen after procedure (pigmentation is reversible, though) but otherwise no scarring and no other complication if done by an experienced dermatologist.
