Warts, Skin Tag & Nail Infection Treatment
Not every skin growth or nail change needs a dramatic intervention. I focus on accurate, science-based diagnosis and non-invasive, in-clinic procedures to safely resolve these persistent conditions.
In this detailed explanation, I discuss how cryotherapy works for viral warts. Using liquid nitrogen, we can effectively destroy the infected cells. This is a non-invasive procedure that is one of the best treatments for warts on hands and feet.

This image shows a skin condition glowing coral-red under a Wood's lamp, which is a key diagnostic sign of Erythrasma, a bacterial infection. It is a great example of why proper diagnosis is crucial, as this is often mistaken for a fungal infection.
About Treating Warts, Skin Tags & Nail Infections
Most people worry that removing a skin tag or treating a stubborn wart requires a major surgical intervention. In my clinic, we perform these as outpatient procedures. Whether it is using radiofrequency ablation for skin tags or cryotherapy for viral warts, these sessions typically require only topical numbing cream. You can walk in, have the procedure done safely with minimal discomfort, and resume your day without needing a hospital stay.
Beyond the Internet Hacks
I often see patients who have wasted months on over-the-counter 'wart removers' or home remedies for fungal nail infections. These internet hacks rarely address the root cause, and in the case of nail fungus, they can allow the infection to spread or complicate into conditions like cellulitis.
My Approach to Procedures
My goal is always to treat the issue at the source, efficiently and safely.
- Cryotherapy for Viral Warts: We use liquid nitrogen at -196°C. This doesn't just freeze the viral cells; it triggers your body’s immune system to recognize and attack the virus. It is non-invasive and often the best option for palms and soles.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RF) for Skin Tags: Rather than cutting, we use an electric probe to precisely remove skin tags at the stalk. This is quick, clean, and requires only local anesthesia.
- Nail Fungal Infections (Onychomycosis): These require patience. My treatment plan starts with a proper microscopic test or culture to confirm the type of fungus. We then combine topical treatments and medication, monitoring progress until you have a healthy new nail plate growing in.
Why Diagnosis Matters First
Sometimes what looks like a fungal infection is actually a bacterial one (like Erythrasma) or another dermatological issue. I use tools like dermatoscopes and Wood’s lamps to look beneath the surface before we decide on any treatment. If you are dealing with a recurring growth or a nail that just won't clear up, stop guessing. Let’s get a proper diagnosis and a plan that actually works.
