Warts are benign skin growths that appear when the human papillomavirus (HPV) infects skin cells. They can vary in appearance, color, and texture. Anyone can potentially develop warts upon exposure to the virus, as it is contagious. However, some people are more prone to forming them due to variations in immunity. Treatment for warts varies and can include minor surgery with liquid nitrogen or other instruments and medication. Molluscum Contagiosum is also a viral skin condition that occurs when exposed to poxvirus. The infection is contagious and a common pediatric condition. Lesions present as small, round bumps across the body. Severity depends from patient to patient. Treatment options include doing nothing (in some cases the outbreak can disappear over time), liquid nitrogen, or topical medication. Please contact us to make your child’s appointment today.
