Warts
Warts are common, contagious, and very treatable. Our board-certified dermatologists can help you find the right solution.
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.
HPV Infection
Skin-To-Skin Contact
Breaks In The Skin
Weakened Immune Response
Rough, Raised Bumps
Dark Pinpoint Dots
Flat, Smooth Growths
Pain or Pressure
Growth Under or Around Nails
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.
Cantharidin
Salicylic Acid (prescription-strength)
Prescription Creams or Injected Medication

I had a great experience at Anne Arundel Dermatology in Prince Frederick. Without exception, the staff was warm, welcoming, and professional. Dr. Ferrera provided excellent, thorough care. I've already recommended the practice to friends, and I look forward to returning whenever I need dermatology services!

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Chauncey Barbulescu. From my very first appointment, she demonstrated deep expertise and genuine care for my concerns. She patiently listened to my questions, thoroughly explained the diagnosis, and personalized a treatment plan that fit my needs.

I appreciate the care provided by Atlantic Dermatology. As a melanoma survivor, without their care, things could have been a lot different. I see Patricia Hood every months, she is thorough and has spotted numerous skin cancers that required follow up. I am thankful for them.

I had my first appointment at Academy Alliance Dermatology on June 5th at 2:45 PM, and honestly, I had such a great experience! The front desk ladies were friendly and everything was quick and smooth, and I didn’t have to wait long at all. The medical staff member who helped me was so sweet and gentle. She made me feel safe and supported, especially since I was a little nervous. I really appreciated how kind and patient she was 🩺💖. And Dr. James Martin was amazing! He took the time to explain everything clearly and patiently, so I could really understand what I need to do next. He was super professional but also very friendly which made everything so much easier. Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for being so kind, caring, and professional.

Dr. Saini was very thorough, kind, competent, and quite personable! PA Nicole performed the procedure with excellent results and a caring manner.

You can trust this dynamic team! Excellent care was given.

Had terrible, ichy rash. Was able to get an appointment fairly soon after calling due to a cancelation. Doctor prescribed a cream that worked first time used! Since I had the ichy rash for over a month I needed relief ASAP! I applied the cream as directed and after 1 day I had relief from the itch and the rash abated within the next couple days!! An excellent result! Thank you so much! First time in a long time my doctor visit resulted in fast, v
Mike S.
The staff is excellent and Lauren Szaraz took her time explaining everything and answering all my questions.
Mike S.
Great service and treatment from start to finish. I had not been in for 7 years and it took less than 30 minutes to check in / update all my info, get called back, discuss 3 conditions with the nurse, see Dr. BLAZER and get... prescriptions sent for one, a follow up scheduled to get a cyst cut off next week, and get a small wart frozen off....and check out and walk out the door. Dr Blazer had seen me several times years ago and offered multiple treatment options to me which I quickly decided on for all 3 things. I appreciate that they value my time as much as I do. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The price was reasonable as a cash patient. The follow up was easy to schedule and within 3 business days of todays appointment. Could not ask for better service.
Mike S.
Every thing was handled professionally and I am glad they were recommended to me.
Mike S.
Outstanding customer support!! Great experience

I had an excellent experience with Anne Arundel Dermatology. From the moment I walked into the office, I was greeted warmly by the front desk staff and immediately felt at ease. The office is clean, well-organized, and runs very efficiently — I never had to wait long for my appointments. The dermatologists and medical staff are knowledgeable, compassionate, and take the time to explain every step of the process. I highly recommend this practice and Dr Deven Fetzek and Dr Brian Connolly.

Mike S.
I have been a client for 20+ years and have had about 10 melanomas. They have found and removed all at Stage 0. I have also had numerous pre-cancerous moles. They are attentive and professional. I see Dr Ghassemia for exams and Dr Echt does all the surgeries. I would recommend them to anyone. My son who is under 30 is also in their care.
Mike S.
I haven't even been to the appointment yet for my son but I needed to get up here and brag on Taylor! She was absolutely delightful to speak to on the phone several times now and really helped me get an appointment changed around with no problems or attitude. It's sadly getting rarer nowadays to run into someone over the phone who takes their job seriously and actually sounds like they even like their job, but she was so awesome! You never know what kind of day a person is having, and just sounding happy and cheerful could really impact someone's mood. Taylor, I hope you read this and know that you're an amazing young woman and a light in this world! Keep being you!
Mike S.
I had my first appointment at this dermatologist, and while it was a bit fast-paced I thought I was only coming for a consultation, but it turned into the procedure to have something removed I couldn’t be happier with the results! The staff and doctor made everything smooth, and I’m definitely coming back for future care."
Mike S.
The doctor and the staff are very caring and friendly! I highly recommend anyone to see them for any of your skin care issues or needs!

I was very pleased with my appointment with Allison. She was very detail-oriented and took the time to discuss my family history and my concerns.
Mike S.
I have had a series of needs for Mho’s procedures on the top of my head and arms. Being the person I am, I’m always asking questions. I want to know detail. The difference with this company / office in Newnan Georgia is that they take the time to answer. Polite and with understanding . Of course, the procedures are done with top notch medical care and concern for my comfort ( in my case pain management due location). I understand the company has offices in many parts of the United States and if they are anything like the Newnan staff, I would say unequivocally……. go knock on their door. Thomas S. Drolet
Mike S.
These people don’t play around — they’ll solve your problem the same day or help you find a real solution. I left this office feeling like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Look no further, this is the place to go!

I wish I could split this review between the front desk and the providers. I would give the providers 5 stars. The front desk would get 2 stars. Made to feel like a complete annoyance to them.
Mike S.
Dr. Andrew M. Operated on my face 10 years ago. Was extremely satisfied with him and the positive outcome. So happy to have the same outcome with the tumor removed from my ear by Dr. Chris K Nolan 2 years ago. Now on my 10th anniversary Dr. Andrew M. again did his magic and removed a serious Basal tumor from my scalp. Even called me later that evening to see how I was doing. Just a great surgeon and person.!

Where to even start, Frankie PA-C saved my husbands life correctly diagnosing him with an extremely invasive and fast growing form of skin cancer after we were ignored by three other providers. The office is always friendly, clean, and punctual. Frankie is the most competent and knowledgeable dermatologist out there. I also get treated by him with Botox and chemical peels and is he is the best of the best with that as well, and I have tried at least 5 other establishments for Botox and chemical peels. When he starts offering fillers I will surely be doing mine with Frankie as well. Highly recommend Frankie!
Mike S.

Mike S.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Experience at Dermatology Associates of Knoxville! I had an excellent experience at Dermatology Associates of Knoxville with Marcus Ortiz, PA-C, today. He took the time to thoroughly review my medical history, listen to my concerns, and answer every question I had. He explained the best treatment options for me and made sure I understood the process every step of the way. I also had biopsies performed during my appointment, and he was extremely thorough and professional throughout the entire procedure. He carefully explained how to care for the biopsy sites, what to expect during the healing process, and how to properly treat the areas afterward. It means so much to have a provider who takes the time to listen, explain things clearly, and make sure you feel informed and comfortable, especially when you have a complex medical history. I truly appreciate the excellent care, professionalism, and attention to detail I received today. I highly recommend Marcus Ortiz, PA-C, and Dermatology Associates of Knoxville to anyone looking for knowledgeable, compassionate, and thorough dermatological care! Excellent work and an outstanding experience from start to finish!

Mike S.
Only reason the don't get 5* is because of the handicap ramp to get in the place. I take a couple clients who use rollators. The ramp is very long and pretty steep. But felt the were going to fall backwards & needed a rest as soon as we got to the door. Its also not covered so we got soaked when it started pouring.
Mike S.
Today I was a patient again at Dermatologists Specialists on Town Park Lane in Evans, GA. I saw Dr. Ken Johnson Having lived in different places in my 86 years, I can truthfully recommend him highly.

We are thrilled to have found VA dermatology. After moving to virginia from vegas, we tried parasier dermatology, but they were awful and did not provide the same quality as our previous vegas dermatologist. We asked for a new referral to Va dermatology after receiving a recommendation from a friend who had the same bad experience with parasier. So we tried Va Dermatology, and had an amazing experience. Mrs. Tammy caught issues that the other place dismissed. She took care of my 3 children (3,4&7) and my concerns as well.
Mike S.
I have been going to NAD for years! Everyone is so nice & friendly! Dr. Sabini takes very good care of me. I love her! And I don't mind my 2 hour drive!

We were greeted with smiles and warmth by the staff, and the office was clean and orderly. The Doctor was easy to talk to, did an excellent job answering all of my questions, and was very gentle, patient and kind to my daughter that has autism. I couldn't be happier with our visit. Overall the team is incredible! Scheduling was easy, and I was seen within 10-15 minutes of my appointment. The front desk staff was friendly and efficient, Truly top-notch service.
Mike S.
Absolutely amazing! Friendly and fast! Everyone was friendly from the receptionist to the doctor. I get anxious at doctor's offices and they made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. Thank You!
Mike S.
There aren't enough words to describe the personal attention, dignity, pleasant professionalism and concern the entire staff displayed. Casandra the PA explained everything in detail and the entire staff went out of their way to make me comfortable. I can't wait to go back for follow-up.
Mike S.
I cannot say enough good things about this clinic! Dr. Wheat and all of the staff are incredible. Highly recommend.

Mike S.
I feel like i won the lottery when Dr. Christopher Dolan ended up being my skin cancer surgeon. I was very apprehensive about having any surgery, as this is only the second time in my long life to have had to have surgery. In talking to an old boss of mine, who also had skin cancer removed from his face, and the pain he related associated with its removal, as well as his dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome, made me very nervous. But the nurses who assisted in prepping me for my surgery were wonderful, always inquiring whether i was experiencing any pain, and working to ensure that i wouldn't feel any during my surgery were spot on great. Dr. Dolan, as others have mentioned for them as well, called me the following day, to inquire whether i had any questions or concerns, was further reinforcement of my belief that Dr. Dolan and his staff are the best of the best, and that i am blessed to have had them treat me.
Mike S.
Love all the staff, the front desk is always welcoming and I have seen two Dr's there and loved them both !
Mike S.
Staff here is great. Prompt, thorough and friendly.
Mike S.
Lived in Florida for 40+ years, lots of sun damage, & have seen many dermatologists. This is by far the best practice I’ve found. Frank and the entire staff are professional, knowledgeable, friendly, understanding and kind. They respond quickly, explain everything, and listen to concerns. And they don’t rush you through your appointment!
Mike S.
Dr. Dahr and his team took great care of me in a quick and kind way. Highly recommend them!
Mike S.
I have been seeing Dr. Monica Valentin at the Fairfax Office of Anne Arundel Dematology for many years. Dr. Valentin is board certified in two specialties, Dermatology and Internal Medicine, and her thoroughness is appreciated. She is always friendly and kind, no matter how busy, and she and her PAs help you maintain good skin health including any necessary medical treatments, and annual or more frequent checks as necessary. The practice itself, and the Fairfax office, are extremely well run, including calendars, maintaining scheduling, billing, and communications. Unlike some other specialists' offices, in particular dermatology, while the practice is busy, there is rarely or never any kind of untoward wait, and the waiting room is therefore not full or crowded, because they maintain a disciplined calendar and don't overbook. Only the people right before you and the people right after you are generally there. While I have had only standard but important medical skin checks and treatments, they do offer spa care treatments, and for whatever reason Dr. Valentin ages in reverse so I would trust her in that regard if one were in that market.
Mike S.
Very professional was in an out in no time.
Mike S.
First time here due to change of insurance. WONDERFUL Staff!! Felt very good about interactions and was glad to get the body scan!!

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.
