Service Name: Warts Treatment

Introduction:

Warts are common skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). While generally harmless, they can be unsightly, bothersome, and sometimes painful. OnPoint Urgent Care Houston provides effective treatment options for warts, aiming to remove the growths and alleviate any discomfort.

Service Description:

Our team at OnPoint Urgent Care Houston specializes in treating various types of warts, including common warts, plantar warts, and flat warts. We understand that warts can affect both the appearance and comfort of our patients. Our approach is to offer safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatments to remove warts and provide guidance on preventing future outbreaks.

Symptoms and Types of Warts:

Warts can vary in appearance and may include:

• Common Warts: Rough, raised skin growths, typically found on hands.
• Plantar Warts: Hard, grainy growths on the soles of the feet, often causing discomfort when walking.
• Flat Warts: Smaller, smoother warts that can appear on the face, thighs, or arms.

Comprehensive Treatment Approach:

• Physical Examination: Assessing the wart's type, location, and number.
• Topical Treatments: Application of salicylic acid or other chemical treatments to gradually peel away the wart.
• Cryotherapy: Using liquid nitrogen to freeze and remove the wart.
• Laser Treatment: Employing laser therapy to target and destroy the wart tissue.
• Minor Surgical Procedures: In some cases, surgical removal of the wart may be necessary.
• Immunotherapy: Stimulating the immune system to fight off the wart virus.
• Prevention Strategies: Providing advice on reducing the risk of wart transmission and recurrence, including hygiene tips and information on HPV vaccines.

When to Seek Treatment for Warts:

Consider seeking professional care if:

• Over-the-counter treatments have been ineffective.
• The wart causes pain, discomfort, or bleeding.
• There are changes in the color or appearance of the wart.
• The wart is located on the face or another sensitive area.
