A common skin condition, warts affect people of all ages, but it is most common among school-aged children. Usually found on the hands, fingers, and near the fingernails, warts typically appear as thick bumps under the skin and are rough in texture. They differ in size and may have little black dots, which are blood vessels within the wart. This condition is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be passed on from person to person with skin-to-skin contact or on surfaces. Although warts are usually harmless, they may be irritating and unsightly. Over-the-counter wart treatments sometimes aren't enough for removal. At Oak Dermatology, our team offers a more aggressive wart regimen at our offices in Naperville, Joliet, and Itasca, IL.

Warts may reoccur, so it is important to find the treatment that best reduces outbreaks. The most common and successful technique involves freezing the wart. Our expert team applies liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart away. A blister then forms around the wart, and the dead cells fall off within a week. Another option is applying cantharidin, a medicine that creates a blister around the wart — it is a common and popular treatment since the technique causes little to no pain. Other treatment options include electrosurgery, curetting or scraping, or excising the wart.  Our team also offers the latest technology,  SWIFT®, which uses microwave energy to eliminate warts with little or zero downtime. 

My 13yo son and I both visited Oak and Dr Hsu was amazing!! It was our first visit to Oak. My son has a few moles that I wanted looked at and I wanted a body scan to be safe. I am so glad to have found a great local Dermatologist!!
