Brisbane West Dermatology offers effective solutions for persistent skin growths.

Warts are non-cancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which has over 150 subtypes. They typically present as hard, raised lesions on areas such as the hands, feet, or face. While warts may resolve on their own, treatment options like salicylic acid and cryotherapy are available for persistent cases. Though they are most commonly found in children, warts can affect individuals of all ages and may lead to discomfort or self-consciousness.

While not harmful, warts are contagious and can spread to other areas of the skin or to others. Proper treatment can help prevent recurrence, though some individuals may require ongoing management.
