What is Wart Removal ?

Wart removal is a medical procedure used to eliminate warts, which are small, benign skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). These growths can appear on various parts of the body, including the hands, feet, face, and genitals, and while they are generally harmless, they can be uncomfortable, unsightly, or contagious.
The choice of treatment depends on the type, size, location of the wart, and the patient’s overall health. In some cases, especially when warts are persistent or painful, professional medical intervention is necessary for effective removal and to prevent recurrence.
Wart removal can be done through several methods, such as topical treatments with salicylic acid, cryotherapy (freezing with liquid nitrogen), electrocautery (burning with electric current), laser therapy, or minor surgical procedures.

Types of Wart Removal Treatments

  1. Topical Treatments : Over-the-counter creams with salicylic acid to peel away the wart gradually.
  2. Cryotherapy (Freezing) : A healthcare provider applies liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy the wart.
  3. Electrocautery : The wart is burned using an electric current.
  4. Laser Therapy : A laser beam is used to destroy the wart tissue.
  5. Surgical Removal : The wart is cut out using a scalpel (usually for stubborn or large warts).
  6. Chemical Peels or Injections : Involves stronger acids or immune-stimulating drugs.
