What Is a Wart?
A wart is a small, rough growth on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts are contagious and can spread through direct contact or contaminated surfaces. They commonly appear on the hands, feet, face, and around the nails.
While most warts are harmless and may eventually go away on their own, they can be painful, embarrassing, and spread to other parts of the body or to other people. Professional removal is the safest and most effective way to eliminate warts.
Who Gets Warts?
Anyone can get warts, but they are more common in:
- Children and teenagers: Younger immune systems are more susceptible.
- People with weakened immune systems: Those with autoimmune conditions or on immunosuppressant medications.
- People who use communal showers: Public pools, gyms, and locker rooms increase exposure to HPV.
- Those with skin injuries: Cuts and scratches provide entry points for the virus.
When Should You Treat a Wart?
While some warts clear on their own over months or years, treatment is recommended if:
- The wart is painful or bleeds.
- The wart spreads to other areas or to other people.
- The wart is in a visible location and affects your confidence.
- You have a weakened immune system.
- Over-the-counter treatments have not worked.
Early treatment prevents the wart from growing larger and spreading.
How Wart Removal Works at Lovina Clinic
1. Assessment. The doctor identifies the type of wart and the best removal method.
2. Removal. Common methods include:
- Cryotherapy: Liquid nitrogen freezes the wart, causing it to blister and fall off within days.
- Laser treatment: A focused beam of light destroys the wart tissue.
- Topical medication: Prescription-strength creams are applied over several weeks.
- Surgical removal: The wart is excised under local anaesthesia.
3. Aftercare. You will receive instructions on how to care for the treated area. Multiple sessions may be needed for large or stubborn warts.
Pain Level
Cryotherapy causes a brief stinging or burning sensation during application, which subsides quickly. Laser treatment may cause mild discomfort. Local anaesthesia is used for surgical removal. Most patients tolerate all methods well without significant pain.
Healing & Recovery
After cryotherapy, a blister forms and heals within a few days to a week. After laser or surgical removal, the area may be tender for a few days. Keep the area clean and avoid picking at scabs or blisters. Multiple treatments may be needed every 2 to 4 weeks for stubborn warts.
