Wart Removal

Warts are common skin-colored bumps caused by a virus that lives in the upper layers of your skin.  Warts are harmless and may grow on any part of the body.  Their appearance depends on their location.  Those on the palms of the hands or bottom of the feet (plantar warts) grow in due to pressure.  On other areas, warts tend to protrude.  Treatment depends on the size, location and duration of the wart.  There is no single perfect treatment, but surgical removal, freezing with liquid nitrogen, even certain chemical applications are the most common modalities.
