Warts Removal

WARTS:

Warts are benign (not cancerous) skin growths that appear when a virus infects the top layer of the skin. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the causative agent of warts. A skin cut or damage increases the chances of getting warts.

Wart viruses are contagious. Warts can spread by contact with the wart or something that touched the wart. Also, scratching a wart and then putting the same finger on another part of the body can transfer the disease to that body part as well.

Warts are often skin-colored and feel rough, but they can be dark (brown or gray-black), flat, and smooth.

It is a common observation that warts tend to occur on areas of trauma as well e.g., warts tend to occur more commonly on calluses on soles and on palms. Also, areas which are moist tend to harbour warts more than dry areas e.g., soles/feet are a common occurance site.

Diagnosis

A dermatologist can tell whether you have a wart by looking at it. In rare cases, a dermatologist may need to perform a skin biopsy to be certain. If a dermatologist needs to perform a biopsy, the doctor will remove the wart and send it to a lab. At the lab, a small piece of the wart will be used to prepare a slide and will be examined under a microscope.

A biopsy is a safe and quick procedure for a dermatologist to perform.

Warts Removal / Treatment

Warts often go away without treatment. You should see a dermatologist if you cannot get rid of the warts, the warts hurt, or you have many warts. Dermatologists have many treatments for warts. The treatment used depends on the patient’s age and health as well as the type of wart.

A dermatologist may use one of the following treatments:

Cantharidin: A dermatologist may treat a wart with cantharidin. Cantharidin causes a blister to form under the wart. In a week or so, you can return to the office and the dermatologist will clip away the dead wart.

Cryotherapy: For common warts in adults and older children, cryotherapy (freezing) is the most common treatment. This treatment is not too painful. It can cause dark spots in people who have dark skin. It is common to repeat treatments.

Warts can be easily treated by burning with extreme heat or cold using special devices at Cosmetique. The most common treatment employed at the best centres in the world is called as cryotherapy. Cryotherapy is a treatment method in which liquid nitrogen is finely applied over the wart using specialized Cryogen equipment. We use the world’s best Cryogen equipment made by Brymill. Self medication by burning them with acids or picking at them can leave unsightly marks and even can lead to an infection.

Electrosurgery and curettage: Electrosurgery (burning) is a good treatment for common warts, filiform warts, and foot warts. Curettage involves scraping off (curetting) the wart with a sharp knife or small, spoon-shaped tool. These two procedures often are used together. The dermatologist may remove the wart by scraping it off before or after electrosurgery.

Excision: The doctor may cut out the wart (excision)

Laser treatment: Laser treatment is an option, mainly for warts that have not responded to other therapies. Before laser treatment, the dermatologist may numb the wart with an anesthetic injection (shot).

Immunotherapy: This treatment uses the patient’s own immune system to fight the warts. This treatment is used when the warts remain despite other treatments. One type of immunotherapy involves applying a chemical, such as diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP), to the warts. A mild allergic reaction occurs around the treated warts. This reaction may cause the warts to go away. Another type of immunotherapy involves getting shots of interferon. The shots can boost the body’s immune system, which gives the body the ability to fight the virus.
