Warts Treatment Center

Types Of Warts : Warts are benign thickenings in the skin or mucous membranes caused by the human papilloma virus. Warts are also known as verrucae or condylomata.

We Treat all Types of Warts
Warts are very common - sometimes warts on the hands, face, verruca vulgaris, plantar warts and plane warts resolve without treatment but the other times they do not. Warts can be found in individuals of any age and in any location.

Warts are growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are very common, particularly in school-age child.
Warts can spread by direct contact to other parts of the body, or to others. They are painless unless they appear on the soles of the feet.
Types of Warts
Warts are sometimes described by their appearance or location:
- Common warts (verruca vulgaris) can appear anywhere on dry skin, but they are more commonly seen on the hands. They can appear in clusters.
- Flat warts are often on the face or legs. They are smaller and can be difficult to see.
- Plantar warts (foot warts) are located on the soles of the feet. The weight of the body pushes them into the deeper tissues, which can make them painful.
The virus is very common. Most people who are exposed to the virus do not develop warts. This is because their body’s immune system recognizes the HPV virus and attacks it before it can start a growth.
The HPV virus enters the skin through a small scratch or wound. This explains why warts often appear around fingernails where the skin is often dry or cracked. After the skin becomes infected by the HPV virus, skin cells to start reproducing more rapidly. This creates small bumps where the skin becomes a bit thicker than the surrounding skin. The infected skin may also have a slightly different color. It can take 12 months for the growths to appear after an infection with the virus.
Even those who develop warts may find that they disappear on their own without treatment.
It seems In those cases, the warts go away when the body’s immune system finally recognizes the virus as foreign and starts to attack the underlying infection. Warts tend to heal on their own within 2 years in children and 5 to 7 years in adults.
These commonly used treatments remove warts more quickly:
- Occlusion—covering the wart in a bandage or strip of tape
- Over the counter medications (salicylic acid)
- Cryotherapy (freezing)
- Electrosurgery
- Prescription medications
Warts have a tendency to return, so repeated treatments may be necessary.
There are additional treatment options for warts that are widespread, do not respond well to standard treatments, or keep returning.

NYC Dermatology takes care of all these conditions.
Warts NYC Treatment Center in New York, NY headed by Board Certified Dermatologist Dr. Gary Rothfeld with a New York City office in Manhattan, New York providing expert skin care, dermatology, and cosmetic dermatology services.
A Park Avenue practice with an international reputation in general, cosmetic, and surgical dermatology.
I personally see every new patient who visits our office. I am not just a physician, I am a Board Certified Dermatologist. My goal is, quite simply, to provide the type of dermatology care which I would seek for my own family. This is a very important point, since physicians often use the phrase "Doctor's Doctor" to refer to those individuals who typically are selected by physicians themselves for personal care. I am confident that my practice fully meets that definition. This is the type of 5-star care and service that our patients expect, deserve and receive. I treat every patient the way I would want to be treated: with courtesy, dignity and respect. I carefully listen to their hair and skin-care concerns and offer a variety of options including a treatment plan that I believe will give them the best results
Dr Gary sees every patient himself and believes in personalized care. The Doctor does not employ any physician assistants, nurse practitioners, or other physician substitutes to do his treatment. He sees every patient himself at every visit.
A significant percentage of my Hair Loss, Dermatology and Cosmetic Dermatology Conditions are diagnosed on listening to the medical history of the patient alone, a further percentage on examination and the remainder on further detailed or careful examination and my patients teach me the rest. It is clear to me that history and examination skills remain at the very core of my dermatology practice. Older Dermatologists like myself rely on history and physical to a greater degree than the younger dermatologists. I think that the pendulum has swung too far towards all these cosmetic procedures where the younger dermatologists are just doing cosmetic procedures and not listening to their patients. This is an important point because if the Dermatologist does not spend enough time with the patient during the consult the cosmetic procedures will probably not work.
