Warts are small growths that usually tend to appear on the fingers or hands. It’s important that you’re able to identify a wart and start treatment as soon as possible so that you don’t spread warts to others or on other areas of your body. Warts can also be irritating to deal with, so it’s important to look at your treatment options with your dermatologist. Dr. Herschel Stoller at Center of Dermatology in Omaha, Columbus, and Papillion, NE, can help you learn to identify warts and find the best treatment option for you.
Dealing with Warts
When you first identify a wart, you should head to your dermatologist in Omaha, Columbus, and Papillion, NE, to remove warts as soon as possible. Warts can be bothersome and cause you to feel uncomfortable. When your dermatologist first identifies the wart, they’ll start you on a treatment plan that works the best for you!
Treatment will depend on the location, severity, and your own preferences. Without treatment, warts can take a year or two to go away and you’re at risk of getting other warts to develop in that same area. There are a few forms of removal that your doctor may recommend. Salicylic acid can be used in combination with freezing. The acid removes small layers of the wart one at a time, while freezing creates a blister around the wart, making it easy to remove.
Your dermatologist may recommend minor surgery to just cut the affected tissue off. Laser treatment is also an option where a laser is used to burn and cauterize the affected area.
