Book NowAbout Warts
A common skin condition, warts are most often seen on the palms, fingers, and near the nails. Warts generally look like little, fleshy peas, but they may differ in size. It's common for warts to develop in groups near the elbows and knees. Warts are brought on by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Though warts are usually harmless, they may be annoying and unattractive. Store-bought wart removal products often aren't strong enough, which is why our team provides wart removal at the office in Chambersburg, PA. When you've got a wart you'd like removed, schedule an appointment with a dermatology provider at OneSkin Integrative Dermatology.
Causes
Warts are a skin condition brought on by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are usually spread through skin contact. Warts may also be spread through contact with something a wart has been in contact with, like exercise gear or a phone. It's easier to contract warts through a scrape or cut so areas that are regularly shaved (the legs, face, or the armpits) are at greater risk.
Treatment Options
Wart treatment includes several effective methods, each targeting the wart tissue to eliminate the growth and prevent recurrence. Consistency is important with wart treatment, so we will likely ask you to return for additional evaluation and treatment if needed.
Cantharidin, a topical treatment derived from blister beetles, is applied directly to the wart, causing it to blister and eventually fall off within a few days. Liquid nitrogen, another common treatment, involves cryotherapy where the wart is frozen using extremely cold temperatures, leading to its destruction and subsequent removal. Candida antigen injections can be employed, leveraging the body's immune response to attack the wart tissue; this method is particularly useful for stubborn or multiple warts. Each treatment option has its benefits and may be chosen based on the wart's location, size, and patient preferences, often requiring multiple sessions for optimal results.
Other options include electrosurgery, curetting, laser treatments, and others may also be used for treatment when the wart(s) is hard to remove.
Symptoms
The most common symptoms of warts are lumps that are grainy and tender on top and feel fleshy. The area near the wart may be rough. Plantar warts develop on the bottom of the feet. Also called foot warts, they look like brown or flesh-colored bumps that are marked with small, black spots. Flat warts are smoother and smaller in comparison to other kinds. Flat warts may develop anywhere, but they're most common on the legs and face.

OneSkin Integrative Dermatology Reviews
I took my 10 year old son to see Dr. Day today for a wart removal. He has some extra sensory needs and is very sensitive to medical procedures. Dr. Day and her team were absolutely phenomenal with him! I couldn't have asked for a more pleasant experience. He didn't shed one tear. Dr. Day knew the right balance between information to share with him so he felt comfortable but not too much that he felt overwhelmed. I am incredibly thankful to her and her team.

My family has been there twice and will be going a third time next month for mole and wart removal. Super clean building, very welcoming and the staff are so friendly. They were able to address and treat our concerns. We were able to make an appointment within a week of reaching out whereas other dermatologists, we were on a waiting list and 5 months out. I would absolutely recommend and will return in the future for any dermatology concerns.
I recently had an IPL Treatment done with Tiffany Katsaros, who is so caring and takes her time to answer any questions you may have. I have recurring skin keratosis which never heals and leaves a lot of scarring and redness. IPL Treatment is the only thing that heals my skin, it is amazing, this treatment got rid of all the scaley bumps on my chest and broken blood vessels on my face, my skin is so much smoother and looks great. Tiffany also recommended a body wash called CLn MD which is available in the office. Since using it I have noticed fewer breakouts and does not dry out your skin. Love OneSkin, My skin was a mess when I started coming here and they are giving me beautiful skin again, never thought it would happen at my age!!! SOO Highly recommend Dr. Rachel Day, Tiffany and their whole team!!!
Today was my first time seeing Caitlin Conklin for my 3rd Laser Genesis Treatment for my ongoing skin condition Actinic Keratosis, which is rough scaly patches on my skin causing a lot of skin damage. I had so much redness in my face and sometimes scaring, I would try to cover up with makeup but now I can just wash and go, which is grrreat! After every treatment my skin looked better and better. My skin is soo clear, silky and baby soft now, SUPER happy with the results!!! Caitlin did an amazing job an absolute sweetheart, so caring, I felt like I was having a spa day!!! I love OneSkin Dermatology, never had such great results! Soo highly recommend Oneskin!!!
