The most common explanation is a worn o-ring.
If the faucet drips after closing, this may be due to the fact that the ring does not provide proper tightness.
Why is the bathroom faucet leaking
Typically, water taps leak because the gaskets inside the shut-off valves—mechanisms that turn on and off the flow of water—have worn out.
Most modern faucets can be repaired yourself: it is not necessary to call a plumber or change the faucet itself.
