Warts: What Causes Them & Treatment Options

Warts are common, but that doesn’t make them any less frustrating. Whether they’re causing discomfort or making you feel self-conscious, we understand how much they can impact your day-to-day confidence.
At Clinic 5C Dermatology , we offer personalized, effective wart removal treatments that help you enjoy smooth, clear skin again, without invasive procedures or long recovery times.
Why Do Warts Happen?
Warts may seem to appear out of nowhere. They’re typically caused by a viral infection in the top layer of the skin. While many warts are harmless, they can be unsightly, irritating, and, depending on their location, sometimes even painful (especially plantar warts on the bottom of the feet).
The good news? Once treated, most warts don’t return, especially when properly removed.
Our Approach to Wart Treatment
Every patient’s skin is different, which means every wart treatment plan should be, too. During your in-person consultation, we’ll assess the type, location, and severity of your wart(s), then recommend the treatment option best suited to your needs and goals.
Here are the wart treatment options we offer at Clinic 5C Dermatology:
Pulsed Dye Laser Therapy
This advanced laser treatment works by targeting the blood vessels that supply the wart, causing it to gradually shrink and disappear. It’s effective, precise, and doesn’t damage the surrounding skin.
Excision
For certain warts, surgical removal may be the best choice. This is a quick, in-office procedure done with local anesthesia. There’s little to no downtime, and most patients return to normal activities immediately.
Immunomodulation
This method helps stimulate your immune system to fight off the virus that’s causing the wart. It’s a great option for stubborn or recurring warts, and especially helpful for those who want to avoid surgery or lasers.
