Warts are caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV).
Warts are contagious by skin-to-skin contact or by sharing personal items like towels or razors.
Genital warts are spread by skin-to-skin or mucosal contact.

IN-OFFICE TREATMENT

CRYOTHERAPY

Liquid nitrogen -196°C is more effective then over the counter freezing methods. May sting with application. Blister often occurs post treatment. May wash with soap and water and cover with Vaseline and band-aid. Okay to pop blister.

LASER THERAPY: PULSE DYED LASER

A quick pulse of light that creates heat directed at wart. Treatment repeated every 4-8 weeks until healed. Feels like hard rubber band snapping against skin. May cause bruising.

IMMUNOTHERAPY: CANDIDA ANTIGEN

Injection of Candida antigen directly into wart. This tricks the body’s immune system into fighting virus. May need additional treatments.

CANTHARIDIN (CANTHARONE)

A toxin derived from the blister beetle, Cantharis vesicatoria, causes blister to
form on the wart or growth. This will eventually scab and fall off. May need additional treatments.
