Warts Specialists FAQ in San Diego, CA

If you have high-risk HPV that sticks around or goes dormant and keeps coming back, that’s when it becomes cancer causing (or what doctors call oncogenic).

How many sessions does it take to remove a wart?

To treat a wart, soak it for 10 to 15 minutes (you can do this in the shower or bath), file away the dead warty skin with an emery board or pumice stone, and apply the salicylic acid. Do this once or twice a day for 12 weeks.

What causes HPV warts to flare up?
