What Is It?

Warts are non-cancerous skin growths caused by a viral infection in
the top layer of the skin. They can appear anywhere on the skin but they are
most common on the hands and feet. Wart colors can range from skin-colored,
pink, brown and white. They appear as tiny, hard bumps with a rough surface
that may have a cauliflower texture. Some can also be dark, flat and smooth.
There are many different kinds of warts including:

  • Common warts – usually grow around the nails, on the fingers and back of
    hands
  • Foot warts – usually appear on soles of the feet and can be called plantar
    warts
  • Flat warts – smaller and smoother than other warts that grow in great
    numbers
  • Genital warts (condyloma) – occur on the genitalia and anus

What Causes It?

Warts are tiny skin infections caused by viruses of the human papillomavirus
(HPV) family. The viruses that cause warts are passed from person to person,
sometimes indirectly. The risk of catching hand, foot and flat warts is small.
Genital warts are more contagious and sexually transmitted. Some people get
warts depending on how often they are exposed to the virus.

How To Remove Warts?

Several treatment options for warts exist. Common warts in young children can
be treated with a painless in-office topical medication called cantharone.  A
new FDA approved version of this medicine is expected to be approved shortly
which will be even safer and more of a precise treatment than what we have had
up to this point. For adults and older children, the most effective treatment
is cryotherapy (freezing of the wart with liquid nitrogen). Vascular lasers,
such as the pulse dye laser, are commonly used to shrink the blood supply to
the wart and kill the virus. Electrosurgery (burning and scraping off the
wart) is also sometimes done in those that are stubborn to remove with some of
the other modalities. A new microwave treatment, known as the Swift Microwave
Therapy, is showing great promise for warts.

Hard-to-treat just got easy.

Gold Skin Care Center is now offering CellFX, an energy-based method of
clearing benign skin lesions. The CellFX procedure works by addressing the
cause of most benign lesions – cells. The secret is its patented Nano-Pulse
Stimulation™ (NPS™) technology. This unique technology of ultrafast energy
pulses reaches these skin lesions no matter how deep they go in the treatment
area. The non-thermal CellFX procedure reduces risk of scarring and helps
promote natural, gradual healing that leads to healthy, renewed skin. We
Recommend CellFX because:

  • It clears the bad and keeps the good – clears the cells that cause the
    problem while sparing healthy collagen
  • Reduces risk of scarring – This non-thermal procedure helps prevent damage
    to non-cellular collagen
  • Fast & easy procedure – Quickly return to normal activity
  • Used for a broad range of skin conditions – Proven results on different
    lesion types and sizes on the face, forehead, neck, back, hands and feet

Gold Skin Care Center is proud to be the first office in Middle Tennessee to
showcase this new technology. To learn more about warts and how to remove
warts, visit Gold Skin Care Center.</a >
