Warts
Safe, Effective Warts Treatments
Warts are noncancerous growths caused by an infection of the top layers of the skin by the human papilloma virus. There are several different types of wart and their appearance varies depending on their location.
Genital warts, known as condyloma accuminata, are sexually transmitted. They are usually skin-colored, may be rough or smooth, and can appear on any area of the genital region. In women, some types of genital warts are associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer while, in men, perianal warts may carry a risk of squamous cell carcinoma. Careful follow-up with a gynecologist or a proctologist, respectively, is necessary in these cases.
Treatment Options for Warts
There are a variety of modalities utilized in the treatment of warts. Most commonly, warts are destroyed using cryosurgery (freezing), electrosurgery (burning), or application of an acid. An alternative approach is immunotherapy, in which the body’s immune system is triggered to fight the wart using a variety of agents (e.g. imiquimod, cantharidin, candida antigen). Regardless of the modality employed, repeat treatments are usually required. To learn more about warts, visit medlineplus.gov.
