Warts
Warts are small, benign and harmless skin growths that are very common but have an unsightly appearance.
What causes warts?
Warts are a viral condition caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Since warts are caused by a virus, they can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected person or indirectly through swimming pools and locker rooms in sports centers.
Treatments for warts
What treatments are offered for warts at Clinique Rejuvena?
There are various over-the-counter treatments to get rid of warts. In some cases, over-the-counter products will prove ineffective and a consultation with a doctor will be necessary. The most common treatments for warts are:
- Topical treatment with salicylic acid
- Cryotherapy
- Other topical treatments such as cantharidin
At Clinique Rejuvena, we use cantharidin to treat warts. This treatment is effective and has the advantage of being painless. The product creates an inflammatory reaction that may manifest as a small blister or crust around the treated wart. The day after treatment, some people may experience local discomfort but the procedure in general is very well-tolerated.

How can I prevent warts?
Warts are contagious. The best way to avoid contracting or spreading them is to avoid walking barefoot in public places such as gyms, swimming pools and communal showers. In these locations, it is important to always wear sandals or other footwear.
