Warts Specialists FAQ in Highland Park, IL

Should you go to a dermatologist or podiatrist for warts?

Podiatrists use a variety of treatments to remove warts more quickly. These include topical medications, cryotherapy, laser therapy, and surgical removal. If you have foot warts that are bothering you, please consult with a podiatrist.

Is HPV just an STD?

HPV is the most common STI. There were about 43 million HPV infections in 2018, many among people in their late teens and early 20s. There are many different types of HPV. Some types can cause health problems, including genital warts and cancers.

Are warts STD?

Genital warts are a common sexually transmitted infection caused by a virus called Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). This virus is passed on through direct skin-to-skin contact with someone who has HPV on their skin.

What kills warts quick?

For common warts, look for a 17 percent salicylic acid solution. These products (Compound W, Dr. Scholl’s Clear Away Wart Remover, others) are usually used daily, often for a few weeks. For best results, soak your wart in warm water for a few minutes before applying the product.

What happens if you leave warts untreated?

Most warts will persist for one to two years if they are left untreated. Eventually, the body will recognize the virus and fight it off, causing the wart to disappear. While they remain, however, warts can spread very easily when people pick at them or when they are on the hands, feet or face.

How deep can a wart go?

Warts live within the top layer of skin, or epidermis, and do not extend deeper into the areas where you have fat, large blood vessels, nerves, or muscles. It may feel as though the wart is very deep with roots due to the hardness of the skin around it, but this is not the case.

How do professionals get rid of warts?

Laser removal – A highly targeted beam of laser light is aimed at the wart or verruca. Excision removal – The wart or verruca is carefully cut out using a surgical scalpel and is removed immediately.

How to avoid getting warts?

Avoid touching someone’s wart. Make sure that everyone in your home has their own towels, washcloths, razors, nail clippers, socks, and other personal items. Clean and cover cuts and scrapes. Wash your hands often. Prevent dry, cracked skin.

Why does duct tape work on warts?

Unlike other treatments, duct tape doesn’t seek to treat the underlying virus that causes the wart or to identify the “root” of the wart. Instead, covering a wart with duct tape prevents the virus from spreading further by stopping the wart from contacting other parts of your skin.

Does apple cider vinegar get rid of warts?

Vinegar burns and gradually destroys the infected skin, making the wart fall off eventually, like the way salicylic acid works. The irritation caused by the acid boosts the immune system’s ability to combat the virus responsible for the wart.

What kills the virus that causes warts?

Other medications: These include bleomycin, which is injected into a wart to kill a virus, and imiquimod (Aldara and Zyclara), an immunotherapy drug that stimulates your own immune system to fight off the wart virus. It comes in the form of a prescription cream.

How do you stop warts from coming back?

Avoid touching someone’s wart. Make sure that everyone in your home has their own towels, washcloths, razors, nail clippers, socks, and other personal items. Clean and cover cuts and scrapes. Wash your hands often. Prevent dry, cracked skin.

Why is my body not clearing HPV?

Around 90% of HPV infections clear within 2 years. For a small number of women and people with a cervix, their immune system will not be able to get rid of HPV. This is called a persistent infection. A persistent HPV infection causes the cells of the cervix to change.
