Your dermatologists in Roswell, Alpharetta, Cumming, and Sandy Springs, GA, can help you get rid of warts

Warts are unsightly. If you have tried over-the-counter wart removal products, you may be disappointed at the results. Your dermatologist can help you get rid of warts permanently, so you can enjoy clear skin again.

The dermatologists of Atlanta Center For Dermatologic Diseases provide comprehensive medical and cosmetic dermatology services, including treatment of warts. They have several convenient office locations in Roswell, Alpharetta, Cumming, and Sandy Springs, GA.

Warts are caused by contact with a virus. They can appear in many forms, from rough, hard bumps, to flat clusters. They can appear anywhere on the body, including the feet, hands, and genitals.

They may disappear by themselves, especially with children or teenagers. Adults have a more difficult time getting rid of warts. Warts can also be spread from one person to another, and from one body part to another.

You may be at increased risk of developing warts if you:

• Have a compromised immune system
• Have a history of warts
• Go barefoot in public areas like swimming pools and showers

If you develop warts, you should see a dermatologist, who can help you get rid of warts permanently. Your dermatologist may recommend:

• Cryotherapy–freezing the wart
• Electrosurgery–burning the wart
• Excision–cutting the wart
• Immunotherapy–to stimulate your immune system to eliminate the virus
• Laser treatment–to kill the cells that make up the wart
• Chemical peels–to remove the wart in layers
