warts

Warts often have a rough, grainy surface with a cauliflower-like texture. However, some growths may resemble skin cancer. If you’re in the Austin area and unsure, our team at Revelus Dermatology recommends an in-person skin exam to confirm the diagnosis and rule out more serious conditions.

Yes — most plantar warts (on the feet) can be treated non-surgically using cryotherapy, topical agents, or immunotherapy. At our Austin dermatology office, we often treat athletes and runners who need targeted, non-invasive care to get back on their feet quickly.

Many wart treatments are considered medically necessary and are often covered by insurance, but cosmetic removals (like those on the face or hands) may not be. Our Austin-based billing team can help check your plan and discuss any out-of-pocket costs before treatment at Revelus Dermatology.

Absolutely. Warts are common in children, especially on fingers, feet, and knees. At Revelus Dermatology, we take a gentle and effective approach tailored to pediatric patients — many of whom are treated quickly and comfortably in our south Austin clinic.

Good hygiene is key. Avoid picking at warts, wear flip-flops in communal areas, and don’t share razors or towels. At Revelus Dermatology in Austin, we educate patients on lifestyle habits that reduce recurrence — especially important for teens, athletes, and families.

If the wart is painful, growing, spreading, or not responding to home treatment, it’s time to see a board-certified dermatologist. Austin patients often come to Revelus Dermatology when warts interfere with work, school, or appearance — and we offer expert solutions that work.
