Wart Removal in Oakville, Ontario
Treat stubborn warts safely and effectively at Oakville Skin. Whether your wart is persistent, spreading, or simply bothersome, we offer advanced treatment options within a dermatologist-led clinic.
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
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
