Warts Treatment in La Jolla UTC in San Diego CA

Image
A wart is harmless contagious skin growth that feels rough to the touch and is often characterized by minuscule clotted blood vessels that resemble tiny black dots. Though not a health risk, you may wish to have it removed because of social embarrassment. We offer treatment options tailored to your needs and aesthetic goals. When treating warts, the goal is to destroy the growths themselves or fight off HPV. For immediate treatment, we offer several effective methods: prescription-strength salicylic, bichloroacetic, or trichloroacetic acids; in-office treatments including pulse-dyed lasers and cryotherapy. Our neighborhood practitioners urge patience when treating warts, as it can take weeks or even months to produce results. We understand how warts can be a physical nuisance and even affect your self-esteem. Contact us if you have a wart that you want to eliminate so you can have clear, smooth skin once again.
