Warts Specialists FAQ in Lancaster, PA

Is HPV with warts for life?

The warts may go away, stay the same, or grow in size or number. A healthcare provider can usually diagnose genital warts by looking at them. Genital warts can come back, even after treatment. The types of HPV that cause warts do not cause cancer.

When should I see a dermatologist for warts?

In adults, warts may not disappear as easily or as quickly as they do in children. Although most warts are harmless, dermatologists do treat them. You should see a dermatologist if you cannot get rid of the warts, the warts hurt, or you have many warts.

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.

What happens if HPV keeps coming back?

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).

Do warts ever stop growing?

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.

How do you get rid of warts forever?

Does it hurt to get a wart surgically removed?

Is wart excision painful? The procedure itself is painless because of the numbing medication, but the site will feel tender for a couple of weeks. You may need pain medications after your session.

Can hormones cause warts?
