Understanding Warts
Before diving into the various wart removal techniques, let's understand what warts are. Warts are noncancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear on any part of the body and differ in size, shape, and appearance depending on the strain of HPV and their location.
Common Types of Warts
There are several types of warts, and each type requires a customized approach to removal:
- Common warts: Usually found on the hands and fingers, common warts have a rough, grainy appearance.
- Plantar warts: These warts develop on the soles of the feet, causing pain and discomfort while walking.
- Flat warts: Flat warts are smoother and smaller compared to other warts. They often appear in clusters on the face, legs, or arms.
- Genital warts: Genital warts are sexually transmitted and require specialized treatment. We highly recommend consulting with Dr. Shettell for genital wart removal.
Wart Removal Techniques
Dr. Shettell employs various wart removal methods depending on the size, location, and type of wart. These techniques include:
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy, also known as freezing, is a common method used to remove warts. Liquid nitrogen is applied to the wart, causing it to freeze and ultimately fall off. This technique is effective for most types of warts and can be performed in just a single visit to our clinic.
Surgical Excision
In cases where the wart is large or persists despite other treatments, surgical excision may be recommended. Dr. Shettell skillfully removes the wart using a scalpel, ensuring complete removal and minimizing the chances of recurrence.
Electrosurgery
Electrosurgery involves the use of an electrical current to remove warts. This technique is particularly useful for larger warts or those that have spread on the skin's surface.
Topical Treatments
For certain types of warts, topical medications may be prescribed. Dr. Shettell will assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate topical treatment to eradicate the wart.
