Warts & Skin Growths: Quick Removal Options for Spring Clean-Up

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your skin and address any lingering warts, skin tags, or benign growths. These common skin concerns can appear anywhere on the body and often become more noticeable after winter clothing comes off. While usually harmless, removing them can improve comfort, appearance, and confidence.

At MDCS Dermatology, Melissa Magrone, MSN, FNP-C offers safe, effective, and minimally invasive removal options tailored to each patient’s needs, ensuring quick recovery and natural results.

Common Skin Growths Treated

• Warts: Viral growths caused by HPV, often appearing on hands, feet, or other areas.

• Skin Tags: Small, soft, benign growths often found on the neck, underarms, or eyelids.

• Seborrheic Keratoses: Non-cancerous pigmented growths common with age.

• Cherry Angiomas: Small red bumps caused by dilated blood vessels.

Early evaluation helps determine the safest removal method and prevents unnecessary irritation or scarring.

Removal Options at MDCS Dermatology
Melissa Magrone, MSN, FNP-C recommends the most appropriate technique based on growth type, size, and location:

• Cryotherapy: Freezing warts or small growths for effective removal.

• Electrocautery: Precision burning for skin tags and vascular lesions.

• Excision or Shave Removal: Minor procedures for larger growths with minimal scarring.

• Topical Treatments: For certain warts, medicated solutions may accelerate clearance.

Most procedures are quick, performed in-office, and require minimal downtime.
