What is a Wart removal?

Clear Result

Why have it removed?

Warts are small common skin growths which result from the human papilloma virus (HPV). They are generally harmless and can appear anywhere on the body, but they are commonly seen in areas such as the hands, feet, and face. They often feel like rough bumps, and may range in size, colour and appearance. Although they are mostly harmless, warts and other skin growth like skin tags, many individuals prefer to have them removed due to the cosmetically unattractive appearance and effect on confidence.

  • Getting rid of warts may also be a good idea for pain relief, particularly if they are located on the feet, plantar warts can cause walking to be painful. As warts are highly contagious, getting rid of them can help in preventing their spread to other parts of the body or to others. When warts are resistant to home treatment or new ones appear frequently, professional removal is the best option. Consider seeing a healthcare provider because some type of warts could be indicating an underlying medical problem like verrucous carcinoma, especially if your immune system is weak.

Several benefits include:

  • Improved appearance
  • Reduce discomfort
  • Prevention of spread
  • Enhanced hygiene
  • Minimise risk of complications

The many types

Common warts

Common warts are slightly raised, skin-coloured bumps which develop most often on the hands and knees but can affect any part of the body from 1mm to 10mm in size. They are pink or flesh-coloured and have a rough texture that are usually hard, round, and stand above the surrounding skin surface.

Flat warts

Flat warts are yellow, and often found on the face; neck; legs; or back of the hands. They are characterised by their flat, smooth look that is slightly raised. These usually appear as single warts or small clusters.

Plantar warts

Also known as verrucas, plantar warts are skin or yellow in colour with tiny black dots in the middle. They may be large or small, and they often hurt if you have them while standing. Plantar warts may appear as a single skin lesions and sometimes can cluster together, forming what is known as mosaic warts.

Genital warts

Another common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in England is genital warts, which are caused by various strains of human papillomavirus (HPV). You should know that not all genital warts can be treated like ordinary ones. If you believe you have genital warts, one should visit your provider and seek treatment instead of using over-the-counter remedies.

Effective Wart Removal Methods
What are the methods used in effective wart removal?

These There are various ways of getting rid of a warts and skin tag effectively:

Laser Removal: The use of a laser to cut the wart off by removing its tiny blood vessels supply, thus causing it to fall off. It also kills the HPV virus responsible for the wart to develop.

Surgical Excision Removal: In some cases, a doctor can remove the wart by cutting or shaving it off with a scalpel. This is an exact manner in which you can remove the wart completely.

Cryotherapy: Cryotherapy involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen to destroy the affected skin cells. The liquid nitrogen is applied on the wart using a needle that will burn the wart. This causes a blister to form under the wart, causing it to fall off.

Electrosurgery: The wart is cut and then removed using an electric current in this method. It is a method used mostly with larger warts that did not respond as well to other wart removal treatment options like chemical treatments using salicylic acid.

Duration Of The Treatment
How long does the wart removal procedure take?

>The majority of wart treatments require less than 1 hour to get one treatment to complete.

Potential Recurrence
Can warts come back after treatment?

Wart removal is very effective, and it is rare for a wart to grow back in the same place after having it professionally treated. But if the virus is still hanging around, more warts may spring up in other spots.

Post-treatment Downtime
Will I need time off work?

Most patients can return to work immediately after having a wart removed, however warts on the face and visible other places like your forehead or chin could mean needing to take time off. Then they may need as long as five days off.

Managing Pain And Discomfort
Is wart removal painful?

Regardless of the method used, wart removal will cause discomfort. Laser and cryotherapy are described as similar to the brief sting of a wasp; but, because they essentially burn the wart away, some people find them more painful. Although local anaesthetic can help with discomfort.

Am I suitable
Is Wart Removal good for me?

The best candidate for wart removal is someone who has warts which are causing pain, not going away or making walking painful, or the warts affect their appearance. You can seek professional treatment here at Harley Street Skin Clinic for those with concerns about spreading the virus to others or other areas of their own body and for people who have a weakened immune system or recurring warts.

The risks
Can risks be prevented?

Wart removal is considered a safe procedure with few risks, including:

  • Infection: With almost any procedure that breaks the skin, infection is possible, so proper aftercare is crucial.
  • Scarring: Surgical excision can potentially leave a scar depending on how your skin heals.
  • Skin colour changes: This may include lightening (hypopigmentation) or darkening (hyperpigmentation) of your skin in the treated area which can be either temporary or permanent.
  • Pain or Discomfort : Some of the techniques like cryotherapy or laser treatment may cause a little pain during or after the procedure.
  • Allergy: It is possible to have allergic reactions to either anaesthesia or medication, which can be slight itchiness but could also cause more serious conditions, and it is important you inform your doctor about allergies beforehand.
  • Numbness or tingling: This may be the result of nerve irritation, but in most cases will disappear as nerves recover.
  • Recurrence: Warts can come back, especially if the virus (HPV) that causes warts is still in the skin.
