Wart Treatment
Warts are a common skin condition caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They may cause discomfort or embarrassment and can appear anywhere on the body. We provide a variety of wart treatments at our office to assist you in effectively and safely getting rid of warts.
Depending on your specific requirements, our wart treatment may include use of topical medicines, cryotherapy, or electrosurgery. Our board-certified dermatologists will assess your issue during your initial consultation and suggest the most appropriate course of action for you. You can contact us to schedule a consultation and learn more about our Wart Treatment options.

Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen, causing the tissue to die and eventually fall off as the skin heals.
Topical Medications
Topical treatments like salicylic acid or imiquimod work by softening the wart and stimulating the immune system to fight the virus, gradually removing the wart.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy uses focused light to destroy the blood vessels feeding the wart, causing it to shrink and disappear over time.
Surgical Removal
Surgical removal involves cutting or scraping the wart off, typically for larger or stubborn warts that don't respond to other treatments.
