Warts guide

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.

How long does wart treatment take?

Warts and molluscum (small, smooth skin bumps) are stubborn. Topical treatments (medicines put on the skin) usually take several weeks of repeated use, and the warts or molluscum can come back. Some go away on their own over time.

What should I do about a genital or anal wart?

This common-warts visit does not treat genital tissue (the genitals). A typical wart on the outside skin of the genitals or around the anus may fit our separate photo-based External genital warts visit. A lesion (growth) inside the anus, vagina, cervix (the lower part of the uterus), or urethra (the tube urine comes out of), or at the opening where urine comes out, or any lesion that is atypical (unusual), pigmented (has color in it), ulcerated (an open sore), bleeding, painful, firm, fixed (stuck in place), or growing fast, 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 (spots or growths that have color in them) and possible skin cancers are never evaluated by photo online.
