Warts and molluscum contagiosum are common viral skin conditions that can affect both children and adults. While these growths are usually not dangerous, they can spread, become irritated, and cause cosmetic concerns or discomfort. At City Dermatology Skin Institute, our dermatology team provides expert wart and molluscum treatment in Bensalem and Warminster, PA with personalized care designed to remove lesions and support healthy skin safely.
Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and may appear on the hands, feet, fingers, face, or other areas of the body. Some warts are small and rough, while others may become painful, especially plantar warts on the feet. Molluscum contagiosum is caused by a different viral infection and often appears as small, smooth, flesh-colored bumps with a dimple in the center. Molluscum is especially common in children and may spread through skin-to-skin contact, shared towels, or sports activities.
Professional Evaluation for Warts and Molluscum
Although some warts and molluscum lesions may eventually resolve on their own, many patients seek treatment because the lesions spread, persist, become irritated, or affect self-confidence. Certain skin growths can also resemble other dermatologic conditions, making an accurate diagnosis important.
At City Dermatology Skin Institute, our providers perform a thorough skin evaluation to determine the type of lesion and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach. We understand that visible skin growths can be frustrating and sometimes embarrassing, especially for children and teens, and we focus on providing compassionate, patient-centered care
Advanced Wart Removal Treatments
There are several effective treatment options available for wart removal depending on the size, location, and severity of the lesions. Common dermatology treatments for warts may include cryotherapy (freezing the wart), topical medications, chemical treatments, curettage, or other advanced dermatologic procedures.
For stubborn or recurring warts, multiple treatment sessions may be necessary to fully clear the affected area. Our dermatology team works closely with patients to develop individualized treatment plans while minimizing discomfort and reducing the risk of recurrence.
Molluscum Contagiosum Treatment Options
Molluscum contagiosum often spreads quickly through scratching or direct contact, especially among children. Treatment may help reduce spreading, irritation, inflammation, and cosmetic concerns.
Depending on the patient’s age and skin condition, molluscum treatment options may include topical therapies, cryotherapy, lesion removal procedures, or observation when appropriate. Our providers carefully evaluate each case to recommend safe and effective treatment options tailored to the patient’s needs.
