Although common warts are considered harmless, they can be uncomfortable, contagious, and pose a cosmetic concern. If you are googling “wart removal near me” in Juno Beach, Florida, you should consider us. Dr. Susan Schroeder of Perfect Skin offers gentle and effective treatment options.
Treatment options
If you’ve been searching for wart treatments online, you’ve probably seen several blogs or social posts touting home cures. Many of these are ineffective or even dangerous. Additionally, self-treatment can lead to scars, which are especially concerning in the case of facial wart removal. Fortunately, professional medical treatment is safe, comfortable, predictable, and typically complication-free.
After a consultation and examination, Dr. Schroeder will recommend the best treatment for your condition. Options may include:
- Cryosurgery – liquid nitrogen is used to destroy (freeze off) the wart.
- Cantharidin – an extract preparation from a beetle that causes the wart to blister and destroys the cells that the wart has infected. This is the original “beetle-juice”.
- Other medicines –Injectable immunotherapy medications, such as candida antigen or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) may assist your immune system in fighting off the viral infection. A subset of patients will respond to H-1 antihistamine oral medication (cimetidine).
