What Are Warts?
Warts are common viral skin growths caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They develop when the virus enters the skin through tiny breaks or areas of irritation, triggering excess skin cell growth. Warts may appear rough, raised, flat, or thickened depending on their location and type. They can develop on the hands, feet, face, or other areas of the body and may spread through direct contact, shared surfaces, or repeated friction against the skin.
What Are the Signs & Symptoms of Warts?
- Small rough or grainy skin growths
- Flesh-colored, white, pink, or slightly darker bumps
- Thickened or hardened skin on pressure points
- Tiny black pinpoint dots within the lesion
- Tenderness when walking or applying pressure
- Clusters of raised or flat skin growths
- Interrupted skin texture or natural skin lines
How Are Warts Treated?
Your consultation begins with a detailed skin evaluation by Dr. Burch or Dr. Brackenrich to confirm the diagnosis and assess the type, size, location, and persistence of your warts. You will discuss how long the lesions have been present, whether they are spreading or painful, and any previous treatments you may have tried. Your skin, lifestyle, and comfort level are all considered when building a personalized treatment plan.
Treatment may include advanced options such as Vbeam laser therapy, which targets the tiny blood vessels supplying the wart while minimizing any disruption to the surrounding skin. By reducing the wart’s blood supply, the lesion gradually breaks down and clears over time. The goal is to eliminate visible lesions, reduce the risk of recurrence, improve comfort, and restore smoother, healthier-looking skin with a refined, tissue-sparing approach.
What Happens if Warts Are Left Untreated?
Although some warts may eventually resolve on their own, many persist, enlarge, or spread over time. Because warts are caused by a viral infection within the skin, untreated lesions can continue to spread to nearby areas or be transferred through contact. Certain warts, particularly plantar warts on the feet, may also become increasingly painful due to pressure and friction. In some cases, what appears to be a wart may also resemble other skin conditions.
Without treatment, you may experience:
- Gradual spreading to the nearby skin
- Larger, thicker, or more stubborn lesions
- Increased tenderness or pain with pressure
- Clusters of multiple warts developing
- Cracking, irritation, or occasional bleeding
- Discomfort during walking, exercise, or daily activities
- Self-consciousness about visible skin growths
