Warts are common — but they don’t have to be permanent.

​

What Are Warts?

A Wart is a benign skin growth caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus enters through tiny breaks in the skin and triggers excess skin cell growth, creating a thickened, rough lesion.

 

Warts most commonly appear on the hands, fingers, feet, and sometimes the face or knees. They are contagious and can spread through direct skin contact or shared surfaces such as gym floors or pool decks.

 

While they are not dangerous in most cases, they can be painful, cosmetically bothersome, and persistent.

​

Types of Warts We Treat

 

Common Warts (Verruca Vulgaris)

• Rough, raised growths

• Often on hands and fingers

​​

Plantar Warts

• Located on the bottom of the foot

• May feel painful when walking

• Often grow inward due to pressure

​

Flat Warts

• Smaller, smoother

• Often on the face or legs

​

Filiform Warts

• Thin, finger-like growths

• Frequently on the face

• Accurate diagnosis matters — some skin cancers can mimic warts.

Wart Removal Options in Las Vegas

Treatment depends on the wart’s size, depth, location, and how long it has been present.

 

The most common in-office treatment is cryotherapy, which involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen. This controlled freezing destroys infected tissue and stimulates the immune system to recognize the virus. The procedure is quick and well tolerated, though mild blistering and temporary tenderness are normal afterward. Multiple sessions are often needed.

​

For certain cases, prescription-strength topical treatments may be used between visits to enhance clearance. In select situations, the wart may be gently removed using curettage and electrodessication.

​

Stubborn or resistant warts sometimes require advanced therapies such as immunotherapy injections or combination treatments. The key is persistence and a structured plan.

​

Plantar Wart Treatment in Las Vegas

Plantar wart often cause more discomfort than warts in other locations. Because they develop on weight-bearing areas of the foot, they may feel like stepping on a pebble. Thickened callus frequently forms over them, and tiny black pinpoint dots (clotted capillaries) are often visible.

Early treatment reduces pain and lowers the risk of spread to other areas of the foot.

​

Are Warts Contagious?

Yes, warts are contagious. They can spread from one person to another or from one part of your body to another. Picking at a wart significantly increases the chance of spreading the virus and may increase scarring risk.

Covering warts and avoiding shaving over them can help reduce transmission.

​

When to See a Dermatologist for Wart Removal

You should schedule an evaluation if the wart is painful, spreading, bleeding, changing in appearance, or not responding to over-the-counter treatments. Individuals with diabetes, immune suppression, or poor circulation should seek professional care early.

​

Most importantly, if you are unsure whether a lesion is truly a wart, it should be examined before treatment.

​

​

What to Expect After Wart Treatment

After cryotherapy, the area may appear red and slightly swollen. A small blister may form within 24 hours, which is part of the normal healing process. Most treated areas heal within one to two weeks.

​

Some warts require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart for complete resolution.

​

Wart Removal Cost in Las Vegas

The cost of treatment depends on the number of warts, their location, and the type of therapy required. Insurance often covers medically necessary wart treatment. Transparent pricing is provided during your visit.
