Warts Specialists FAQ in San Luis Obispo, CA

Do warts go away if left 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.

What is the lifespan of a wart?

Most often, warts are harmless growths that go away on their own within 2 years. Periungual or plantar warts are harder to cure than warts in other places. Warts can come back after treatment, even if they appear to go away.

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 vitamin is lacking for warts?

In our study, patients with warts had significantly lower mean serum vitamin B12 level than patients without warts. Furthermore, they more frequently had decreased serum vitamin B12 levels.

Is every wart HPV?

Common warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus is quite common and has more than 150 types, but only a few cause warts on your hands. Some strains of HPV are acquired through sexual contact.

How long are HPV warts contagious?

It’s hard to know when people are no longer contagious, because there’s no blood test that looks for HPV. Most of the time, HPV is gone within 2 years of when someone was infected.

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).

Can stress cause HPV warts?

Abstract. Psychological stress is an important factor involved in disease manifestations of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and it can participate in HPV-associated carcinogenesis. The impact or effect which stress can have (exert) depends on a person’s genetic pool, experiences and behaviors.

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.

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.

Can dermatologist remove HPV warts?

Procedures: A dermatologist may perform one of these procedures during an office visit: Cryosurgery (freeze off the warts with liquid nitrogen) Excision (cut out the warts) Electrocautery (destroy the warts with an electric current)

How can you tell if a wart is HPV?

Your doctor will examine you or take a biopsy (a sample of the wart) to see if you have genital warts. They might draw a blood sample to test for HIV and syphilis. Depending on the results, they may also refer you to a specialist for further testing.
