How Do Dermatologists Treat Warts ?

Although most warts are harmless, dermatologists do treat them. Warts can be very unsightly, and, in the case of plantar warts, very uncomfortable. The type of wart treatment performed usually depends on the type of wart being treated.
Electrodessication and curettage-A procedure where the dermatologist scrapes and burns the wart to get rid of it.
Excision-Warts may be excised if they are very painful or other wart treatment options have failed.
Prescription medications-There are several prescription medications that can be used to treat warts of all types, including salicylic acid and imiquimo

  • Genital warts-warts

    Genital warts-warts that are spread through sexual contact in the genital area.

  • Periungual warts-warts

    Periungual warts-warts that develop around and under fingernails and toenails.

  • Plantar warts-Plantar

    Plantar warts-Plantar warts grow on the plantar surface (the sole) of the foot infecting the superficial layer of the skin. Instead of growing out of the skin, they grow into the skin, causing pain when pressure is applied, like with walking. The skin thickens to a callus-like growth, and can become tender when pressure is applied (ie, when you walk).

What Causes Warts ?

Warts are noncancerous skin growths caused by an infection in the topmost layer of the skin by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are most prevalent in children and young adults, but can happen at any age. It is presumed that just about everyone will suffer from at least one wart at some point in his/her lifetime. Risk factors for warts include: young age, use of public showers, weakened immune systems from medications or illnesses, breaks or injuries to the skin (such as in nail biting), and direct contact with warts from other people.

Canthardin-Another common wart treatment includes “painting” the wart with cantharidin, causing a blister to form under the wart. The wart can then be scrapped away by the dermatologist.

  • Understanding Cantharidin

    Cantharidin is a natural vesicant, meaning it causes blistering when applied to the skin.

  • Considerations and Precautions

    While cantharidin is generally safe and effective for wart removal, certain precautions should be observed.

  • Post-Treatment Care

    After cantharidin application, it's essential to follow dermatologist-recommended post-treatment care instructions.

How Are Warts Diagnosed ?

A dermatologist can diagnose a wart by looking at it. Rarely does a dermatologist need to perform a skin biopsy for diagnosis. A skin biopsy may be done if the dermatologist suspects that the wart may be something else, like a skin cancer.
