Warts

Warts are common, contagious, and very treatable. Our board-certified dermatologists can help you find the right solution.

Dermatology - Conditions - Warts istockphoto-2180297393-1024x1024

What Are Warts?

Warts are benign skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). When the virus infects the outer layers of skin, it triggers rapid cell growth, forming the rough, raised bumps most people recognize as warts.

Warts can appear on almost any part of the body, but they're most common on the hands and feet. They vary in appearance depending on where they develop. Some are rough and raised, others are flat and smooth, and some grow in clusters. While warts are harmless in most cases, they can be uncomfortable, stubborn, and easy to spread.

Most warts don't go away quickly on their own. Over-the-counter treatments work for some, but many warts require a dermatologist's care to fully resolve, especially those that are painful, recurring, or resistant to at-home treatment.

Causes
HPV Infection
Warts are caused by contact with one or more of the 100 strains of HPV.
Skin-To-Skin Contact
Direct contact with a wart or an infected surface spreads the virus.
Breaks In The Skin
The virus typically enters through cuts, scrapes, or hangnails.
Weakened Immune Response
Not everyone exposed to HPV develops warts; immunity plays a role.
Symptoms
Rough, Raised Bumps
Most common on hands and fingers; may feel grainy to the touch.
Dark Pinpoint Dots
Small clotted blood vessels, sometimes visible within the wart.
Flat, Smooth Growths
Typical of flat warts, which often appear in clusters on the face or legs.
Pain or Pressure
Especially with plantar warts on the bottom of the feet.
Growth Under or Around Nails
Periungual warts can disrupt nail growth and cause discomfort.
TREATMENT OPTIONS

How Are Warts Treated?

Treatment depends on the type, location, and persistence of the wart. If over-the-counter options haven't worked after 4 to 12 weeks, a visit to a dermatologist is the right next step.

Traveled from Calabash to Whiteville because Shallotte was booked. I had a wonderful experience with that office. PA Julie took the time to explain what pre-melanoma was and why it was important to have it treated. She went over every step of the surgery and made sure I didn't have any questions. She was professional, personable and caring. Her assistant ( sorry I don't remember her name) was also very personable and caring. Both check in and check out were efficient. Thank you!

Upon arrival, I was greeted respectfully, the office was clean and orderly. The staff, they were respectful and polite. The staff worked efficiently to handle the clientele. I didn't even wait but maybe 5 minutes until I was called back. They were very professional. The doctor and his assistant answered all my questions even though some of my questions might have been "stupid". I look forward to going back. They gave me options on treatment. I liked the fact that they didn't just push a agenda or prerogative. They consider their clients.

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Kang for over 15 years at AA Dermatology. It's a little tougher to get in quickly to see him as he's usually booked at least 3 weeks out, but he's worth the wait if it's not urgent. The office staff is pleasant but I wait at least 10 minutes on hold every time calling the office before I am able to speak with someone. Overall, it's a great office experience and we will continue to see Dr. Kang.

My mom saw Jen Abbott, the PA and she was wonderful! The staff was very helpful and there was hardly a wait. Jen looked at mom's concerns and was not only thorough, but very kind. She answered all of our questions and was very reassuring. My mom recently had a stroke and is in a wheelchair. She has been going to a lot of doctor's visits which has been traumatic and scary for someone who was, until recently, very healthy. Jen and her team made the experience really comfortable and my mom felt cared for. I think this is the first doctor's visit she has left in a long time feeling good. I am very thankful to Jenn and the team at Tideway in Bel Air!!

The Dr, I believe her name is Ann is the GOAT. I will never go to another Dr for my skin issues. She knows her stuff. I was called within 5 minutes of my appointment to come to the back, which is unheard of in a Doctors office. Ive gone to many other dermatologists and was extremely disappointed, but she gave me hope again in my skin issues. I recommend her to EVERYONE. She is straight forward, her treatment strategy is effective and she is super nice and funny. Everyone go to her! Her and her staff make it the best experience ever. My husband was so impressed, he even wanted to go for his skin issues.

As usual, Dr. M is a positive professional. I have had many surgeries here over the years and my face is proof he does an excellent job. Years later, the scars are almost undetectable. The staff is great. I can only fault the slightly uncomfortable chairs and clunky paperwork. However, I hear they are going to online forms, so I won’t be able to complain about that next time. This is the place to trust with your face.

Dr. Prussick is an excellent dermatologist and I have used him for years. But since he became part of Ann Arundel Dermatology it is almost impossible to reach the practice. They put you on hold for 10 minutes and then the call drops. Or, you select the 'call back' option but they don't call you back. A few months ago I gave up and found another dermatologist for an emergency infection. Recently, it took 3 days for a prescription to be sent to the pharmacy which is not local. It has been a week and I have heard nothing about its being filled. I gave up trying to contact the practice. I bought an over the counter option and hope it will work. If I hadn't been using this doctor for so many years I would be looking for someone else.

This was my first visit at a dermatologist. The experience was so much better than I could have imagined. The physician assistant quickly put me at ease, her energy was warm and welcoming, her knowledge And ability to articulate in language that I can understand was exceptional. Under procedure was very quick. I’m thankful that the physician assistant had the skill set that she did inclusive of the way that she spoke to me simply telling me details throughout each process, such as you will feel a little stinging, you will feel a little heat, you will feel a wire across your leg. She let me know what was happening throughout and just simply had overall great communication. I would highly recommend this location to anyone and the most important part is I walked out of there feeling all my needs were met.

This is a new practice for us since we recently moved downtown We didn’t know what to expect. When we entered for our appointment, my wife and I were greeted by a friendly desk staff. We filled out some information and only had to wait about 10 more minutes before we were taken back to the examination. The Esthetician Antonella was Extremely friendly and knowledgeable and very helpful. Shortly after she took our information our Nurse Tiffany came to examine us. She was also extremely friendly, extremely knowledgeable, extremely helpful and made us feel very comfortable. The girl that checked us out was super friendly and nice as well. We have been going to a dermatologist every six months for many many years and this was right up there with best overall treatment we’ve ever received. From walking in to walking out.

The entire staff was very professional and helpful. I was seen by Dr. Valentin right on time. She was very thorough and resolved several skin issues I had. I would highly recommend Anne Arundel Dermatology of Fairfax.

It took 3 months to get an appointment, but I wasn’t in a hurry anyway. I can see why now, they are very busy. Even though they were busy I was taken in for my exam at my appointed time and was treated very friendly by the doctor, her assistant and the office staff. A wonderful experience.

My husband and I had CO2 laser done by Sharnel Reed, NP, and I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience We were both nervous going in especially my husband, who wasn’t convinced laser would be effective for men\. I’ve also had microneedling, chemical peels, and laser in the past, so I was worried this would be another disappointing experience. But Sharnel completely changed our minds,She was gentle, thorough, made sure we were comfortable, and took the time to educate us about our individual skin, concerns, and how to safely get the best results.The entire experience was a **360° turnaround from what we expected My husband was so impressed he said, I won’t let another woman touch my face if it’s not her,That says it all. Sharnel is absolutely amazing, and we definitely won’t be going to anyone else. We can’t wait to see our final results! 10/10 experience ❤️✨

Beautiful office and experience! I had a VI Peel with Charu Jain, CRNP. She was very kind and knowledgeable and helped me choose the correct service for my skin. I really appreciate someone who is honest with me about my needs instead of just letting me purchase a treatment that would have minimal results. She did several passes over my skin as requested and made sure I was comfortable. Here's where she went above and beyond...I accidentally misplaced my post-peel kit and realized when I got home. Her team met me in Baltimore to give me a new kit!! This is beyond 5-star service! My skin was glowing after my peel, and I cannot wait for another one. If you haven't already tried the new Meridiem Annapolis, I highly recommend it!

Zoe and the staff there are very professional and very knowledgeable about all the issues I had!! got 4 cut off and am working on getting the rest burned off!! Zoe makes you feel like it's no big deal she knows what she is doing!! I had a spot for 4 years and she said I have an aggressive carcinoma type of cancer and Zoe and the staff cut it out and got it all the very first time!! I have had spots pop up and one call to them and I was in with in days and cut a piece for biopsy 3 days later got the call and 3 days later was getting them addressed!!! Anytime I have a spot of any kind of questions they get right back with answers!!!

I recently had my first visit to Anne Arundel Dermatology in Westminster for a small growth on my face. It was very easy to schedule an appointment right online and was also able to upload my relevant insurance information and identification. The office is very nice, and you are able to answer your health history questions right on a nice iPad like tablet. I saw Dr Marianne Dawn. She was very friendly and told me I had a seborrheic keratosis. She said she could freeze it off right then and there. So, five minutes later I was done! She told me how to treat it over the next couple weeks and now there is no sign of it whatsoever. I would definitely recommend the practice to anyone looking for a dermatologist and will use them again myself if I need any dermatological care.

ADDRESSING TOP WART CONCERNS

Your Wart Questions, Answered

Warts spread through direct contact with the HPV virus, either from another person's wart or from a contaminated surface like a towel, exercise equipment, or pool floor. The virus typically enters through a cut or break in the skin.

Yes. Warts spread through skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or surface. Avoid touching warts and don't share personal items, such as towels or razors.

Yes. Picking at, shaving over, or biting nails near a wart can allow the virus to spread to nearby skin. Keeping warts covered and avoiding contact is the best way to prevent self-spreading.

Those small dark specks are clotted blood vessels: tiny capillaries that fed the wart as it developed. They're a reliable sign that you're looking at a wart.

Sometimes, but it can take months or even years. Many warts persist or spread in the meantime. Treatment is often the faster and more reliable option.

You can reduce your risk by keeping skin intact, wearing footwear in shared spaces like pools and locker rooms, not sharing towels or personal items, and avoiding touching other people's warts.

See a dermatologist if a wart is painful, grows rapidly, changes in appearance, doesn't respond to over-the-counter treatment after 4 to 12 weeks, or if you're unsure whether it's actually a wart. Always see a provider for genital warts.

Over-the-counter salicylic acid products can be effective for common and plantar warts when used consistently. Results typically take several weeks. At-home treatment is less reliable for flat, filiform, or periungual warts.

Salicylic acid preparations available as gels, drops, pads, and plasters are the most widely used and evidence-supported at-home option. Consistent daily use after soaking and filing the area gives the best results.

Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen applied directly to the wart. It freezes the infected tissue, causes a blister to form beneath the wart, and allows the dead tissue to fall away within a week or two. Multiple sessions are often needed for complete clearance.
