Removal Of Warts / Wart Removal  | What is a wart?

A wart (also known as verruca) is generally a small, rough tumor, typically on hands and feet but often other locations, that can resemble a cauliflower or a solid blister. Warts are common, and are caused by a viral infection, specifically by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are contagious when in contact with the skin of an infected person. It is also possible to get warts from using towels or other objects used by an infected person. They typically disappear after a few months but can last for years and can recur.

A dermatofibroma is a benign skin bump that occurs most commonly on the legs. A dermatofibroma is a firm, slightly elevated, dome-shaped, often darker-colored papule.

Sometimes a dermatofibroma is confused with a mole. The way to tell the difference between the two is to pinch the bump. If you pinch a dermatofibroma it creates a dimple because it is attached to the underlying subcutaneous tissue. On the other hand, if you pinch a mole, it projects up away from the skin.

Also Known As: The following names may be found on a pathology report but they all refer to dermatofibromas: fibroma simplex, benign fibrous histiocytoma, nodular subepidermal fibrosis, histiocytoma, sclerosing hemangioma, dermal dendrocytoma.

Even with today’s skin care advances, we are still in the very early stages of a medical breakthrough. In the future, we can expect see biotechnology such as recombinant DNA and stem cell/gene therapies change the face of skin care as we know it. Until that time, the consumer is being bombarded with “new” skin care products, daily. In the world of dermatology, the treatment options are as varied and complex as skin conditions themselves.

This site is all about helping the consumer, and the medical professional find the products and information on procedures that work for varied medical skin care needs. Some of the references and articles posted here will come directly from dermatologists and skin care professionals themselves. Other postings will be sourced from popular medical journals or other valid sources regarding today’s skin care treatment options and new scientific discoveries as well as breakthrough procedures. We discuses what’s hot on the market and why, what’s worth your time and money and what is not, and what you should know before undertaking any kind of surgical or invasive procedure.

Along the way, Removal of Wart will also serve as a complete reference library for all topics related to general skin care and outpatient procedures; including <!– /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Helvetica; panose-1:2 11 6 4 2 2 2 2 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536859905 -1073711037 9 0 511 0;} @font-face {font-family:”Cambria Math”; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1610611985 1107304683 0 0 159 0;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1610611985 1073750139 0 0 159 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:”"; margin-top:0in; margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:10.0pt; margin-left:0in; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:”Calibri”,”sans-serif”; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:”Times New Roman”; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:”Times New Roman”; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:”Times New Roman”; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} .MsoPapDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; margin-bottom:10.0pt; line-height:115%;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} –> various skin conditions like Nevi (moles), Acrochordons, warts, skin tags, DPN (Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra) and keratoses.

The goal of this site is to bring information to you on the latest technologies and innovations for effective skin care and to inform you about the new treatments that may still be in the test stages or are newly developed. Any surgeon will tell you - it is not possible to re-create youth with surgery. But scientific studies today are proving what was once thought impossible - that the quality of normal skin growth could be altered with a topical treatment. With better formulations and increasing awareness of how the skin  reacts at the molecular level, we can improve our chances of keeping our skin youthful and healthy longer than ever before.

We strive to provide accurate, verified information about skin tags and benign skin growths. Although we ensure that the information we provide is accurate, our website is not a substitute for professional care, nor do we provide medical advice. Please consult your Physician before proceeding with any treatment for any health conditions or skin disorders.
