Welcome to Our Warts concern Information Page

At our clinic, we offer comprehensive care for individuals with warts, providing diagnosis, treatment, and support to address your concerns and help you achieve clear, healthy skin.
What are Warts?
Warts are small, rough growths that can appear on the skin’s surface. They are caused by various strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which infects the top layer of the skin, causing it to grow rapidly and form a wart. Warts can develop on any part of the body but are most common on the hands, feet, and face.
Types of Warts concern:
Common Warts:
These warts typically appear on the hands, fingers, or around the nails. They are rough to the touch and may have black dots (clotted blood vessels) on the surface.
Plantar Warts:
Plantar warts develop on the soles of the feet and can be painful, especially when walking or standing. They may appear flat and have a rough, grainy texture.
Flat Warts:
Flat warts are small, smooth, and flat-topped growths that often appear in clusters on the face, neck, or hands. They may be flesh-colored, pink, or light brown.
Genital Warts:
Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by certain strains of HPV. They can appear on the genitals, groin, or anal area and may be small, flesh-colored bumps or clusters of warts.
Treatment Options for Warts concern:
Topical Treatments:
Over-the-counter or prescription-strength medications can be applied directly to the wart to help remove it over time.
Cryotherapy:
Cryotherapy involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen, causing it to blister and fall off.
Electrosurgery:
This procedure uses an electric current to burn and destroy the wart tissue.
Laser Therapy:
Laser treatment targets the blood vessels feeding the wart, causing it to die and fall off.
