Effective Solutions for Stubborn Skin Growths

Warts are common, non-cancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). While often harmless, they can be contagious, unsightly, or uncomfortable. At Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, we offer professional diagnosis and advanced wart removal treatments designed for both cosmetic improvement and viral control.

What Are Warts?

Warts appear when HPV infects the top layer of the skin, often through small cuts or breaks. They can develop on any part of the body but are most common on the hands, feet, face, and genitals. Types of warts include:

• Common warts: Rough, raised bumps usually on hands and fingers
• Plantar warts: Found on the soles of the feet, often painful when walking
• Flat warts: Smooth, small, and often found on the face or legs
• Filiform warts: Long, narrow growths near the eyes, mouth, or nose
• Genital warts: Soft growths that appear in the genital area and require special care

Though most warts eventually disappear, many people seek treatment for faster relief or aesthetic reasons.

How Do Warts Spread?

Warts are spread by direct contact with HPV-infected skin or contaminated surfaces such as shared towels, floors, or grooming tools. The virus thrives in warm, moist environments and may enter the skin through minor abrasions.

People with weakened immune systems or broken skin barriers are more susceptible to infection and recurrence.

Diagnosis at Yeongjong Central

Our dermatologists diagnose warts through a simple visual examination. In some cases, we may perform:

• Dermoscopic analysis to examine blood vessel patterns
• Shave biopsy if the lesion needs confirmation or is atypical

Prompt diagnosis helps differentiate warts from other skin conditions like corns, calluses, or skin cancers.
