When Should You See a Doctor for Warts?


The wart has been present for more than 2–3 months without improvement

You have a plantar wart causing pain while walking or standing

The wart is spreading to new areas of your skin

You have multiple warts or a cluster of warts

The wart is on your face, genitals, or near a nail

You’re immunocompromised — warts can be harder to clear without immune support

You’re not sure if the growth is actually a wart (some skin cancers can mimic warts)

Many people try to treat warts at home with salicylic acid or freeze sprays from the pharmacy — and spend weeks or months with little to show for it. You should see a dermatologist if:

Wart Removal Options at BHSkin Glendale


Cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen) — freeze treatment; the most used and most effective first-line option

Cantharidin application — painless in-office treatment that works over several days

Intralesional Candida antigen — immunotherapy approach for stubborn or recurring warts

Laser therapy — targets blood supply to the wart for precise destruction

Topical prescription agents — for home use between office visits

Surgical removal — for warts resistant to other methods

Combination protocols — for mosaic warts or patients who have had multiple prior treatments fail

Our Glendale dermatologists offer a full range of wart treatments, selected based on your wart type and treatment history:

Plantar Wart Specialists in Glendale


Plantar warts deserve special mention because they’re among the most painful and treatment-resistant types. Because they grow on the soles of your feet and are pushed inward by body weight, they can become quite deep and cause significant discomfort when walking.

BHSkin Glendale has extensive experience treating plantar warts that have failed prior cryotherapy or OTC treatments. We often use a combination approach — cryotherapy paired with intralesional immunotherapy or laser — to achieve clearance in fewer sessions than single-method protocols.

Patients come to us from across Glendale, Burbank, and Pasadena specifically for stubborn plantar wart cases. If you’ve been told your plantar wart is “difficult to treat,” let us take a look.

Frequently Asked Questions


In a dermatology office, cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen) is usually the fastest and most effective option for most wart types. A single session can significantly reduce a wart, and many warts clear within 2–4 sessions spaced 2–3 weeks apart. For plantar warts, combination therapy may speed up results.
Yes. Not all cryotherapy applications are equal — technique, depth, and timing matter. We may also recommend a different approach entirely, such as intralesional immunotherapy or laser, which targets warts through different mechanisms and often works when cryotherapy alone has failed.
Unfortunately, yes — the HPV virus can remain dormant in skin cells even after the visible wart is gone. Recurrence is most common in people with compromised immune systems. We provide specific guidance on how to reduce recurrence risk, including proper foot hygiene and protective measures.
Symptomatic wart removal — particularly for painful plantar warts or warts that are spreading — is generally covered by major insurance plans. We recommend confirming with your provider and can assist with any questions about your coverage.
