FAQs About Wart Treatment in Boca Raton and Delray Beach
+ Q: What causes warts?
Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which enters the skin through small cuts or breaks. The virus triggers rapid skin cell growth, resulting in a raised bump or rough patch. Warts are common on the hands, feet, and other areas exposed to friction. In warm, humid climates like Boca Raton and Delray Beach, shared surfaces such as pool decks and locker rooms can increase exposure risk. At Barnett Dermatology, we accurately diagnose and treat all types of warts.
+ Q: Are warts contagious?
Yes, warts are contagious and can spread through direct skin contact or by touching contaminated surfaces. They can also spread from one area of your body to another. Prompt treatment at our Boca Raton or Delray Beach dermatology office can help reduce the risk of spreading and prevent recurrence.
+ Q: When should I see a dermatologist for a wart?
You should see a dermatologist if a wart is painful, spreading, bleeding, or not improving with over-the-counter treatments. Warts on the face, genitals, or under the nails should always be professionally evaluated. The dermatologists at Barnett Dermatology in Boca Raton and Delray Beach provide safe, effective removal options to restore healthy skin.
+ Q: Can you permanently remove warts?
Warts can often be permanently removed with professional treatment, though recurrence is possible because the virus may remain in the skin. Treatment options may include cryotherapy (freezing), topical prescription medications, minor surgical removal, or other in-office procedures. At Barnett Dermatology in Boca Raton and Delray Beach, we tailor treatment to the type and location of the wart for the best possible outcome.
+ Q: How much does it cost to remove a wart?
The cost of wart removal depends on the size, number, and location of the warts, as well as the type of treatment required. Many medically necessary wart treatments are covered by insurance. During your consultation at our Barnett Dermatology Boca Raton or Delray Beach office, we will explain your options and provide clear guidance regarding pricing and coverage.
