WARTS

Why Won’t This Bump Go Away?

Dermatology treatment for common skin warts using medical procedures at Atmos Derm clinic

Why won’t this weird bump just go away? If you have warts—small, rough, raised bumps that seem to appear out of nowhere—you’re not alone. At Atmos Derm, we help remove warts safely so your skin can be smooth and clear again.

What Are Warts?

Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which enters the skin through tiny cuts or breaks. The virus triggers rapid skin cell growth, forming rough bumps that commonly appear on the hands, feet, or genital area. While usually harmless, warts are contagious and can spread through direct contact or shared items.

Who Is More Likely to Get Warts?

  • Children and teenagers
  • People who bite nails or pick cuticles
  • Individuals with weakened immune systems
  • Those exposed in locker rooms or swimming pools
  • Sexually active individuals (genital warts)

Our Wart Removal Options

Cryotherapy: Liquid nitrogen freezes the wart, causing it to blister and fall off within days.

Laser Therapy: High-intensity laser energy destroys stubborn warts by cutting off their blood supply.

Surgical Removal: Large or painful warts are numbed and carefully removed for immediate results.

Immunotherapy: Medications stimulate your immune system to attack the virus itself, ideal for persistent or recurring warts.

While some warts disappear on their own, they can spread, become painful, get infected, or cause cosmetic concerns—making early treatment the smarter choice.

See a dermatologist if your wart is painful, spreading, persistent, located in sensitive areas, or if you are immunocompromised.
