Warts Treatment Chicago

Warts (HPV)

Warts, or verrucae, are growths on the skin or mucous membranes representing various subtypes of human papilloma virus, or HPV. Anyone may be affected, though people with deficiencies or suppression of their immune systems are especially predisposed. The virus can be spread by skin to skin contact.

Warts can be treated with a variety of modalities, from less aggressive topical therapies to more invasive surgical approaches, depending on various factors including number and location of lesions and response to prior therapy. Recently, a new immunostimulating product called Imiquimod (Aldara) has been used in conjunction with conventional treatments with some success.

Possible treatments:

physical destruction (liquid nitrogen, electrosurgery

chemical destruction (trichloracetic/bichloracetic acid)

topical therapies (Aldara®, retinoids, Efudex®)

lasers
