Warts
Warts are common growths caused by certain types of Human Papillomavirus. Transmitted primarily by direct contact with infected persons or contaminated objects, the virus replicates in the upper layers of the skin and causes focal disorganized growth leading to the thickened, firm surface of the clinical wart.
Treatment of warts includes numerous methods. One of the most popular treatments is the liquid nitrogen therapy seen in dermatologist offices. Liquid nitrogen therapy works by freezing and inducing frostbite in the wart and surrounding areas to destroy the cells containing the wart.
