Our skilled dermatology providers can diagnose most warts on sight. In rare cases, your provider may need to perform a skin biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. By taking a sample of skin tissue and analyzing it in a lab, we can accurately diagnose your wart and make a plan for treatment.

Why Choose Total Skin
Still have questions?
Warts are generally benign. If you’re not concerned about a wart, and it doesn’t cause you any pain or irritation, you can wait for it to resolve on its own, but this may take up to 2 years.
However, warts can become irritating when they impact your self-esteem or make it difficult to do everyday activities like wearing shoes or walking.
Any discomfort experienced during wart removal will depend on the treatment plan, the kind of wart, and your pain sensitivity. Before certain wart removal treatments, we may apply a numbing medication or a local anesthetic to minimize any discomfort you might feel.
If you have concerns about pain management, let your provider know! We want your experience to be as comfortable as possible.
Yes. The virus that causes warts, HPV, is contagious. It can spread through direct or indirect contact. Direct contact entails touching someone’s wart or having skin-to-skin contact. Indirect contact spreads HPV through a common object, like a towel or razor that has come into contact with HPV or a wart.
