Wart Removal

Warts are skin lesions caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are not only unattractive but also contagious, spreading to other areas of the skin and even to other individuals. Prompt treatment by a dermatologist is both safe and effective.

At East Malvern Dermatology, we offer a variety of effective wart removal treatments tailored to the individual’s needs.

Treatment Options for Warts

Cryotherapy:
A fast and effective method where liquid nitrogen is used to freeze warts. This treatment inflames the wart, prompting the body’s immune system to destroy the virus. Healing is typically quick, making this a popular option for wart removal.
Topical Treatments:
Blister-causing chemicals to trigger inflammation and destroy the wart.
Immune-stimulating agents that help the body target the virus.
Fine Wire Diathermy:
A precise procedure using heat to destroy warts, particularly effective for stubborn or recurrent lesions.
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT):
An advanced option for certain types of warts, leveraging light therapy to target and destroy abnormal cells.
Lifestyle Recommendations:
Tips on preventing the spread of warts, including proper skin hygiene and avoiding direct contact with affected areas.
