Warts

Warts

Warts are common growths that can appear anywhere on the body. They are caused by various strains of the Human Papilloma Virus or HPV. You can try treating them initially with over-the-counter salicylic acid treatments such as Mediplast. Warts can be extremely stubborn to treat. Since it is a viral infection, warts will ultimately resolve once your immune system recognizes that there is a problem and decides to mount a response against the virus.

Here at Dermatology & Laser & Alabama, we offer a multitude of treatment options for warts. We find that what works best for one person may not work as well for another. Dr. Sawyer uses a full arsenal of wart treatments including liquid nitrogen, Canthacur, Candida antigen, strong acids, Bleomycin, and surgical treatment. We may also recommend prescription medications to boost your immune response. Warts can be extremely frustrating, but with a little persistence, we can help you make them disappear.
