Clear Your Skin:
Managing Warts
Warts are stubborn, and over-the-counter treatments often fall short. Our clinical experts in Honolulu specialize in identifying your wart type and delivering professional-grade removal options that work faster and more effectively than anything available without a prescription.
What are Warts?
Warts are benign skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which enters the skin through small cuts and triggers abnormal cell growth. In Hawaii, barefoot beach and pool culture, shared gym surfaces, and warm humid conditions make HPV exposure especially common.
HPV Infection & Skin Entry
HPV thrives in warm, moist environments and spreads easily on bare feet at Hawaii’s beaches, pools, and locker rooms — entering through tiny breaks in the skin too small to see.
Immune Response & Persistence
Warts often persist for months or years and can spread to other sites, particularly in individuals who are immunocompromised or frequently exposed through an active Hawaii lifestyle.
Warm & Communal Environments
Hawaii’s beaches, pools, locker rooms, and surf spots create constant reexposure opportunities — making warts more likely to spread, persist, and recur without professional treatment.
The staff was pleasant, the wait was short, and the diagnosis and treatment was very straightforward. Dr. Musaev has excellent knowledge and explained things well. The procedure was quick and painless. Clinic location and parking was easy. A great community resource!

Great experience at Hawaii Premier Dermatology! This was my first derm appointment and I am very happy I chose to come here. Justin was very knowledgeable and helpful and I even got something else checked that I didn’t originally plan on getting checked. I’ll be coming here from now on and I highly recommend!

Justin Maio is #AMAZING. Such a wonderful person with a great personality, and he always puts you at ease–even when it can be scary getting biopsies! I would travel 50 miles anywhere on this island just to see him–and I already go 22! Best office with the nicest and most professional staff. I truly cannot say enough positive things–No joke!
Kathy Coryea
Had a worry about a skin cancer spot and was relieved when Dr. Tagai had a spot for me that week. He had excellent bedside manner and was compassionate when I was a bit of a wimp (okay, a big wimp) with the needle. Highly recommend him.

After two years of wondering and self treating and many healthcare visits to the cheap clinics and constant AI asks, I paid out of pocket less than $400 for 2 visits to find out I have a rare skin condition called Actinic Dermatitis. Thank you Justin, now I know and now I can sleep well at night and understand what is NOT causing this. I really appreciate your expertise!

Precision Diagnosis
Not all skin growths are warts, and not all warts are the same. Our Honolulu clinic carefully evaluates each growth to confirm the diagnosis and choose the most targeted, effective treatment.
- Clinical Skin Examination
We examine your skin growths visually and dermoscopically to confirm the wart type, number, location, and depth of involvement.
- Differential Diagnosis
We distinguish warts from look-alike conditions — including corns, calluses, molluscum contagiosum, and in rare cases skin cancer — to ensure accurate treatment.
- Immunocompromise Assessment
For extensive or treatment-resistant warts, we assess for underlying immune factors contributing to HPV persistence and adjust our treatment strategy accordingly.
Book a consultation at our Honolulu clinic and get a personalized wart treatment plan from our board-certified experts.
