Warts guide

Wart and molluscum treatment online in Virginia and West Virginia

This guide is for common skin warts and molluscum on the hands, feet, or body. Typical external genital warts use a separate visit; internal or atypical genital lesions, changing moles, and facial lesions near the eye need other care.

Common warts and molluscum contagiosum are benign skin growths caused by common viruses. On the hands, feet, or body they are often a good online-photo condition. A typical lesion on external genital or external perianal skin should use the separate External genital warts visit. Anything internal, meatal, pigmented, ulcerated, bleeding, painful, firm, fixed, rapidly growing, or otherwise atypical needs an in-person examination.

If treatment is appropriate, your physician can send a non-controlled prescription to your pharmacy and provide portal instructions for the next step.

Start the request on the website, answer the fit questions, and choose the response window you want.

How long does wart treatment take?

Warts and molluscum are stubborn. Topical treatments usually take several weeks of repeated application, and lesions can recur. Some resolve on their own over time.

What should I do about a genital or anal wart?

This common-warts visit does not treat genital tissue. A typical wart on external genital or external perianal skin may fit QuickVisitMD's separate photo-based External genital warts visit. A lesion inside the anus, vagina, cervix, urethra, or urinary opening — or any atypical, pigmented, ulcerated, bleeding, painful, firm, fixed, or rapidly growing lesion — needs an in-person examination.

What if I'm not sure it's a wart?

If a spot is changing, growing, bleeding, or looks irregular, it needs an in-person skin exam - pigmented lesions and possible skin cancers are never evaluated by photo online.
