Warts

How Do People Get Warts?

Warts are skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be contracted by skin-to-skin contact or from contaminated surfaces. They can occur anywhere on the body and are most commonly found on the hands, feet, face, and genital area.

What Happens When I See My Provider About My Warts?

Common wart treatments include:

  • Freezing: Also known as cryotherapy, this procedure involves freezing the war with liquid nitrogen.
  • Topical Medications: We can provide topical Rx creams to help destroy or soften warts.
  • Laser Therapy: Using the power of our CO2 laser, we can target your wart tissue and carefully burn it off.

Warts can be a very frustrating dermatological issue and can require multiple treatments. It is important to be patient as any wart treatment can take time to work.
