Warts<\/a>\u00a0are non-cancerous skin growths caused by a viral infection in the top layer of the skin. Warts<\/a> are passed from person to person, either from skin to skin contact or through contact with the virus on a fomite (the floor, the doorknob, etc), and can occur almost anywhere on the body. We offer a wide variety of successful treatments<\/a> for warts and are able to customize treatments<\/a> for each patient. The treatments<\/a> for warts include prescription creams applied to the warts daily, an oral pill to enhance the immune system’s ability to fight off the warts<\/a>, freezing the warts<\/a> with liquid nitrogen or an injection of medication into the warts<\/a>. There are two different medications which can be injected into warts<\/a>. One medication is an anti-cancer drug called Bleomycin. This works because the wart virus makes the skin cells it inhabits grow quickly and cancer drugs target quickly growing cells. Since a very small amount of the drug is used and it is injected locally and superficially, the drug does not have any internal effects. The other medication is a drug called Candida which stimulates an individual’s skin immune system when injected into the wart<\/a>. With each treatment the warts<\/a> will become shallower and smaller in diameter as the virus causing the wart <\/a>is destroyed by your own immune system. The bonus of this treatment<\/a> is that it also makes less likely for a recurrence of the warts<\/a>, comparable to receiving a vaccination as well as a treatment<\/a>. While these treatments<\/a> are usually successful, each method does require numerous treatment<\/a> sessions and sometimes combinations of treatments<\/a> over weeks to months before the warts<\/a> are completely resolved. It is not uncommon for warts<\/a> to take three to five treatment sessions before they are gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
