Warts are very common and come in many shapes and sizes. They can occur in any area of your body that you have skin. Regardless of the type and location, all warts are caused by a virus.

Treatment of Warts: There are many different treatment options for warts, and there is no one treatment that works for everyone. For some patients, a single treatment may result in resolution, but oftentimes, a patient may require multiple treatments to result in full clearance. If warts are large, multiples, occur in areas of thicker skin, or occur in a patient with immune issues, they are usually harder to treat. The virus can never be removed from the skin, so it is possible for a patient to have more warts in the future. Warts are also contagious, but not everyone who is exposed to a wart virus develops a wart on the skin. Our dermatology providers have knowledge and extensive experience to work with you to determine which medications may work best in your case and to discuss your treatment options.
