What are Warts?
Warts are small, raised bumps on the skin that are caused by HPV infections. They can vary in size, shape, and texture, and are commonly found on the hands, feet, face, and genital area. Warts are contagious and can be spread through direct contact with the virus or contaminated surfaces.
Wart Removal Treatments
We offer several wart removal treatments to effectively eliminate warts and restore smooth, healthy skin. These treatments include:
- Salicylic Acid: Over-the-counter medications containing salicylic acid can be applied topically to gradually dissolve the wart tissue. This treatment is typically performed at home over several weeks, with regular applications to the affected area.
- Cryotherapy: Cryotherapy involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen, causing it to blister and eventually fall off. This quick and minimally invasive procedure is performed in-office and may require multiple sessions for complete wart removal.
- Electrosurgery: Electrosurgery, or electrocautery, uses a high-frequency electrical current to burn off the wart tissue. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and may be recommended for larger or more stubborn warts.
- Laser Therapy: Laser therapy utilizes focused laser energy to target and destroy the blood vessels that supply the wart, leading to its removal. This precise and effective treatment option is suitable for various types of warts and typically requires minimal downtime.
- Surgical Excision: Surgical excision involves cutting out the wart tissue using a scalpel or surgical scissors. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and may be recommended for larger or deeper warts.
- Home Remedies: Various home remedies, such as duct tape occlusion, apple cider vinegar, and tea tree oil, may be used to treat warts. While these remedies may be effective for some individuals, their efficacy varies, and it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before attempting home treatment.
Benefits of Wart Removal
- Improved Appearance: Wart removal can eliminate unsightly growths and restore clear, healthy skin.
- Relief from Discomfort: Warts can be painful or uncomfortable, especially when located on weight-bearing areas like the feet. Removal can provide relief from discomfort and irritation.
- Prevention of Spread: Removing warts can help prevent the spread of HPV to other areas of the body or to other individuals.
The Wart Removal Process
During your initial consultation, our experienced healthcare provider will evaluate your warts, discuss your treatment options, and recommend the most suitable wart removal method for your needs. The procedure itself will vary depending on the chosen treatment option but is typically performed in-office with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Post-Treatment Care
After wart removal, it’s important to follow specific post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare provider to promote proper healing and minimize the risk of recurrence. This may include keeping the treated area clean and dry, avoiding picking or scratching the skin, and applying topical medications as directed.
