  • Are warts contagious? Other Specialty Services

    Yes, warts are contagious and can spread between children through skin-to-skin contact or shared items such as towels, shoes, and sports equipment. Warts can also spread to other areas of your child’s body, particularly if they pick or scratch at them. Encourage your child to leave the wart alone, keep it clean and covered when possible, and avoid sharing personal items.

  • How do I care for my baby after circumcision? Other Specialty Services

    After your baby’s circumcision, focus on keeping the area clean and protected as it heals. During diaper changes, gently clean the area with warm water and avoid using wipes directly on the site until it has healed. Change diapers often to help keep the area clean and dry.

    Some redness, mild swelling, or a yellowish film can be normal during circumcision healing. If you notice significant swelling, bleeding, signs of infection, or unusual discomfort, contact your child’s Palmetto Pediatrics provider.

  • What type of injuries fall under minor wound care? Other Specialty Services

    Minor wound care appointments can address injuries such as small cuts, scrapes, and minor lacerations, including some cuts that may need stitches. Your child’s provider will assess the injury, clean and treat the wound, and discuss how to care for it as it heals.

    If your child has a wound that may need stitches, call your preferred Palmetto Pediatrics location promptly so our team can help determine the right care. For severe bleeding, call 911.

  • What is cryotherapy? Other Specialty Services

    Cryotherapy is a treatment that uses a very cold substance, usually liquid nitrogen, to freeze and remove unwanted skin growths such as warts. During the visit, your child’s provider applies the treatment to the affected area. The skin may blister before the treated growth gradually heals and falls away. Your provider will explain what to expect and how to care for the area afterward.
