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.

Huge shoutout to Nurse Practitioner Kelsey Reed and the receptionist for their excellent care and customer service. I was a little upset after driving to my appointment and learning that my provider was unable to see me due to an insurance credentialing issue that I had not been informed about beforehand. Thankfully, the receptionist quickly helped arrange for me to see Kelsey. Kelsey was kind, professional, informative, and took the time to address all of my concerns. Both she and the receptionist turned what could have been a very frustrating experience into a positive one. Thank you both for your compassion, professionalism, and dedication to patients!

My experience with Denisha and Dr. Goldstein was ideal. I was hesitant to ask too many questions because I know their office is so busy, but skin care has become very important to me as I enter my 50’s… and the internet is saturated with information and marketing directed toward aging women who want to age gracefully and take care of our skin - yet not all of us can afford to spend a fortune Denisha was lovely, kind, and patient when I mentioned I had a few (more than a few) questions. She answered all of them, and then even asked her own in order to gain more information current routines and needs. Dr. Goldstein came in for the purpose of our visit and then proceeded to answer my unrelated but pressing questions about aging skin care ;) She was knowledge, honest, direct and to the point, which is exactly what I was looking for! At the end of the day, I gained so much important information in a short period of time that will all make a real difference for me and save me money knowing what is worth my money and what is not worth my money. I should also say that if you’re thinking of asking your own questions at your appointment, please do keep in mind that there are super busy. I recommend knowing your questions ahead of time in prioritizing so you can maybe get some answers but also not hold them up… I’d imagine that if they answered everyone’s never ending questions, they’d never eat or make it home to their families 😉

I couldn't wait to share my review here of Carolina Skin Care, in Pinehurst, NC!! My experience was most excellent. This facility provided me with a wonderful staff of professional and expert dermatology. My procedure was performed by Dr. Benjamin Norton who did a terrific job! Dr. Norton deserves many kudos for making me feel relaxed and for having the best bedside manner. I sometimes don't enjoy going to the doctor's (who does, really?!), but he made me feel comfortable and quite at ease. He let me know what he was doing, answered questions, had a nice sense of humor, and a nice jazzy soundtrack to listen to during the operation. Dr. Norton is incredibly cool and marvelous in his field!! His assistant made them the perfect team. They were expert in their capacities, with affable personalities that made the whole experience go down easily!! Today, I went back and had my stitches removed by Maria, and she was so great. The entire staff of professional skin care specialists are top notch! And the receptionists are wonderful as well. I cannot help but give, Carolina Skin Care, rave reviews for their attention, expertise, personalities, and care! Thank you, everyone!!!!

She took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything thoroughly, and made me feel completely comfortable. My skin has improved so much, and every visit feels like a reset for both my skin and my confidence. Highly recommend! I also cannot recommend my injector Brittany Sanderson enough! She is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and takes a very conservative, thoughtful approach. She listened to my goals, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt completely comfortable. The results are natural, refreshed, and exactly what I wanted. I trust her 100%. Such a fantastic group of providers at the Farragut office!

The quality of knowledge and care of the staff and Dr Montemarano was and continues to be outstanding It’s a tough position to be in for the patient, but with the explanation of each procedural step there is a comfort level achieved from beginning to finish

I recently moved to Leland and left a wonderful dermatologist in my hometown. I needed to find a dermatologist in my new hometown and was so afraid I could find nothing to compare. I was definitely wrong. Dr. Cook and his staff are amazing! I was professionally and respectfully guided thru numerous Mohs surgeries with compassion and genuine concern for my well being. I received phone calls after each surgery from Dr. Cook's staff. The first phone call concerned me, thinking they had found an issue. After listening to the voice mail, the call was just to see how I was. Who does that anymore!!!!????? I highly recommend this practice!!!

I called to schedule an appointment with Dr. Lam because he was highly recommended. He was booked 4 months out, so they scheduled me with Morgan Vandall, PA-C. I am not disappointed. She is thorough, knows what she is doing, and listens to the patient. Very personable as well.

Dr. Tiffany Trent and her team are phenomenal. They are kind, helpful and provide exceptional service. Dr. Trent's treatment is effective and I appreciate her not upselling services + products and letting me know what products and home care is not necessary. I've recommended Dr. Trent to coworkers and friends and they have always been happy with their visits.

I have been to several dermatologist that just wasted my time. But they sure charged. Then I found Dr. Miller and my world turned around. Dr. Miller took my case of blisters just come up on my body any and everywhere. No Dr. military or civilian could treat me without coming up with O results. Then I found Dr. Miller at Carolina Skin Care. I had to drive aways but Dr. Miller was the one that cares about her patient's. She took biopsies from my blister and started out to find out what I had. Dr. Miller never gave up. Even working on weekends searching & testing until she came up with a diagnosis . I just figured this was something from the war ( my team was hit with mustard gas) Dr.. Miller stayed at it. After different antibiotics she hit the jackpot. It has been several months and I'm still blister fee. Dr. Miller I'm sure makes the top dollar. She should she really takes on a personal determination to help her patient's. For me she is the most knowledgeable dermatologist that is out there. Dr. Miller you are a saint. I wouldn't go to ANY dermatologist just to Dr. Miller.

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.

The location was convenient and easy to find. Parking was plentiful and adjacent to the building housing the clinic. The staff was extremely professional and considerate; nobody goes to get skin cancer surgery for the fun of it - and the natural apprehension of these procedures is so much easier to manage when those attending are so courteous and helpful in answering questions etc. Two thumbs up and well done to the team.

If you have skin issues and other dermatologist have not successfully treated your issues, give Dr. Boswell of Atlantic Dermatology a try. I am very pleased with the treatment plan she has provided on first try. The office staff is pleasant and attentive. The facility is clean and inviting. I highly recommend Dr. Boswell.

We had such a wonderful experience at the dermatology office today. My 10-year-old daughter had a mole removed from her head, and honestly, I was much more nervous than she was! Dr. Lauren Page was absolutely phenomenal. She was kind, patient, reassuring, and made my daughter feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. The facility was extremely clean, and every person we encountered was so friendly and welcoming. It made what could have been a stressful experience feel so much easier for both of us. We are so thankful for the wonderful care and would highly recommend Dr. Lauren Page and the entire team!

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.
