Pesky Warts, Why Wont They go Away?

Pesky Warts... Why wont they go away??

Warts are a virus that are common in both children and adults. Although kids are more prone to warts, adults can get them too! Most commonly warts appear on the hands and feet. Warts on the hands are much easier to get rid of because the skin is very thin on your hands. Most often your pediatrician or dermatologist will perform cryotherapy (freeze) the warts and they will go away.

Warts on the feet?? That is another story..

The skin on the feet is very thick. It helps protect us so when we walk we dont get hurt. Well warts love the feet. The wart virus is attracted to warm wet places, like sweaty feet!

So how do we get rid of them? There is good and bad news. The bad news is that these pesky warts are difficult to get rid of, and usually will not go away with just freezing them. The good news is that we treat them all the time and have been for many years so we have figured out some great tricks to get rid of these pesky things. There are many different treatment combinations that we have found to help speed up the process of getting rid of these pesky things, for more information you can click here.
