Warts are common, non-cancerous skin growths caused by certain types of HPV. They can appear on the hands, fingers, feet, face, or other areas, and may persist for months or years. A wart develops when a wart-causing type of HPV infects the skin, and can look rough, smooth, flat, or raised depending on the type and location. At DTC Skin Clinic, wart removal is planned after assessing the lesion, its location, and other individual factors so treatment is appropriate for your skin.
Treatment may be considered when a wart persists, spreads, becomes painful, bleeds, or is repeatedly injured, or simply because a visible wart is cosmetically bothersome. If you're unsure whether a skin growth is actually a wart, or if it is changing, bleeding, or unusual, it should be examined by a dermatologist rather than treated at home.
Wart removal at DTC Skin Clinic begins with a dermatological examination to confirm the lesion and assess its size, location, and number. Based on these factors, the dermatologist selects an appropriate treatment, which may include cryotherapy or cautery, performed in the clinic and followed by aftercare instructions and follow-up when required.
Results vary from patient to patient. See more in our full gallery.
Every case at DTC Skin Clinic is reviewed by a qualified specialist before treatment begins, with follow-up built into the plan rather than left to chance.
Redness, tenderness, crusting, blistering, or temporary skin colour changes can occur after some procedures, and scarring is possible depending on the treatment. Removal clears the visible wart but doesn't necessarily eliminate the HPV infection, so warts can return and some patients may need more than one session.
