Wart Removal

Warts are a type of skin-to-skin infection that isn’t really harmful but can be bothersome. They can also form on practically any part of your body, including your hands, knees, and even nails.

You might even develop warts from exposure to an infected person, common surfaces like swimming pools and floors where the virus exists, and more. Patients may experience pain due to some types of warts, but they’re generally harmless, although unsightly and irritating to the touch.

Fortunately, wart removal is easy, painless, and fairly quick, treating the infected area and growth with medication like salicylic acid, chemical cantharidin, and liquid nitrogen or even using a laser to burn the wart.

Each method has its merits, and your doctor will make the call based on the type of wart it is, how old it is, how much it’s progressed, and other factors that they’ll learn in your consultation. You don’t need to worry about pain or discomfort for the most part, but in some cases, there may be burning or itching in the area.

It’s important to treat and remove warts on time so as to not cause irritation or spread them to other parts of the body. While they can resolve on their own, it may take several years of dealing with discomfort.
