What Are Warts?

Warts are skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They develop in the top layer of the skin and can appear on the hands, feet, face, or around the nails.

Some warts remain small and isolated, while others spread or form clusters. But regardless of size or appearance, they are contagious and can spread through skin contact or shared surfaces.

How Warts Are Removed

How Warts Are Removed

At Oakville Skin, we will assess the type, location, and history of the wart before recommending treatment. Because warts are viral, some therapies are designed to stimulate the immune system in addition to removing the visible lesion.

Treatment options may include:

  • Pulse Dye Laser
  • SADBE
  • Autoinoculation
  • Vitamin D
  • Co2re

Frequently Asked Questions

faq

No, skin tags and warts are different conditions and require different treatment approaches. Proper assessment ensures accurate diagnosis.

Warts can recur because they are viral, but combination therapies are often used to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

Certain medically necessary wart treatments may be covered by OHIP. Advanced treatments such as laser and immunotherapy are typically not covered. Coverage can be discussed during your consultation.

Tea tree oil is not a proven treatment for warts. Because warts are caused by a virus, professional medical treatments are often more effective.
