Wart and Callus Treatment
Warts and calluses are common skin problems that can cause discomfort and affect your daily life. With expert dermatological approaches, these conditions can be effectively treated and managed.
What is a Wart?
A wart is a common skin condition caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). It is characterized by a growth on the skin’s surface due to an infection in the upper layer of the skin. Warts are most commonly seen on the hands and feet but can also appear on other parts of the body.
How Do Warts Form?
- Human Papilloma Virus (HPV): The primary cause of warts.
- Transmission: Direct contact with a wart or surfaces contaminated by the virus can lead to infection.
- Open skin wounds: Cuts or open wounds make it easier for the virus to penetrate the skin.
How Are Warts Treated?
The treatment approach depends on the type and location of the wart. A dermatologist will assess your condition and recommend the most suitable method:
- Creams and lotions: Applied topically to soften the wart tissue.
- Cryotherapy (cold therapy): Freezing the wart to effectively remove it.
- Acidic solutions: Used to kill the virus causing the wart.
- Surgical removal: In some cases, the wart may need to be removed surgically.

Warts can be effectively managed with the right treatment and preventative measures. Early intervention and professional care are key to maintaining healthy skin.
