Method of Treatment

A place for a subtitle.

• Cryosurgery: The dermatologist freezes the bumps with liquid nitrogen.

• Curettage: The dermatologist may use a small tool called a curette to scrape the bumps from the skin.

• Laser surgery: A dermatologist uses a laser to target and destroy the bumps. This can be an effective treatment for people who have a weakened immune system.

• Topical (applied to the skin) therapy: Dermatologist will apply various acids and blistering solutions to destroy the bumps. These work by destroying the top layers of the skin. Tricholoracetic acid is often used to treat people who have a weak immune system and many bumps.

*Many children are left untreated because of the unwanted side effects(the bumps may go away with time).

Patients will weak immune systems will probably get more frequent treatments.
