What Are Warts?
Warts are common, benign (non-cancerous) skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear on the hands, feet (plantar warts), face, and other areas of the body. Warts are often rough, raised, and can vary in size. While warts are typically harmless, they can be uncomfortable, contagious, and sometimes embarrassing.
Wart removal service is available locally at UMC Urgent Care on University Avenue West.

Who We Treat
Warts can affect people of all ages, but they are especially common in:
- Children and teenagers
- People with weakened immune systems
- Individuals who frequently have wet or moist skin (e.g., swimmers)
- Those who have had warts before
If you notice a new skin growth, irritation, pain, or spreading of warts, a medical evaluation can determine the best approach.
Why Early Wart Treatment Matters
While many warts are harmless, not all skin growths are the same. An in-person medical assessment helps confirm that a lesion is a wart and ensures appropriate treatment.
Delaying care can lead to:
- Spread to nearby skin
- Increased discomfort or pain
- Difficulty walking (for warts on feet)
- Emotional distress from visible warts
If you notice a new skin growth, irritation, pain, or spreading of warts, a medical evaluation can determine the best approach.
Wart Removal FAQs
Are warts contagious?
Yes. Warts can spread through direct skin contact or shared surfaces (e.g., towels, showers). Treating warts early may reduce the spread.
Does treatment hurt?
Some procedures may cause mild discomfort, but we prioritize comfort and may use numbing if appropriate.
Can warts come back?
Recurrence is possible. We advise follow-up care and prevention techniques to minimize return.
Is one treatment enough?
Some warts respond in a single session; others need repeat visits. We’ll discuss expectations up front.
