At Derma Skin Clinic, we specialize in the treatment of warts, which are non-cancerous growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). While warts are generally harmless, they can be unsightly and cause discomfort, particularly when located on visible areas of the body. Our team of experienced dermatologists provides effective and personalized treatments to remove warts and restore the smooth appearance of your skin.

What Are Warts?

Warts are small, rough growths on the skin caused by the HPV virus, which leads to an overproduction of skin cells. They can appear on any part of the body but are most commonly found on the hands, feet, face, and genital areas.

Types of Warts We Treat

• Common Warts (Verruca Vulgaris) – Rough, raised bumps, typically on the hands and fingers
• Plantar Warts – Warts that appear on the soles of the feet, often causing pain while walking
• Flat Warts – Small, smooth warts that can occur in clusters, commonly on the face or legs
• Filiform Warts – Long, thin warts that often appear around the eyes, mouth, or neck
• Genital Warts – Soft, flesh-colored warts found in the genital or anal areas

Symptoms of Warts

• Small, rough, or raised growths on the skin
• Painful warts, particularly plantar warts on the feet
• Clusters of warts in one area
• Bleeding or discomfort when warts are in high-friction areas

Treatment Options for Warts

At Derma Skin Clinic, we offer a range of effective treatments to remove warts and minimize the risk of recurrence:

1. Cryotherapy (Freezing Treatment)

• Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy the wart tissue, causing the wart to fall off within days or weeks.

2. Electrodesiccation and Curettage

• In this procedure, the wart is burned off using an electric current, followed by scraping the wart away. This is effective for larger or more stubborn warts.

3. Laser Treatment

• Laser therapy targets wart tissue with a focused light beam to destroy the cells, particularly for warts that are resistant to other treatments.

4. Topical Treatments

• Salicylic acid or cantharidin is applied directly to the wart to dissolve it over time. These treatments are usually used for smaller warts or warts in sensitive areas.

5. Minor Surgical Removal

• For larger or persistent warts, surgical excision may be performed to remove the wart completely.

6. Immune Therapy

• Immunotherapy uses medications or injections that stimulate the immune system to fight off the virus causing the wart.

7. Over-the-Counter Wart Treatments

• For less severe warts, our dermatologists may recommend over-the-counter treatments like adhesive pads or creams containing salicylic acid for home use.
