Wart Removal at Dr. Kiran Puttaramaiah’s Skin & Hair Transplant Clinic

Warts are small, non-cancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are contagious, can spread through direct contact, and may appear on different parts of the body such as the hands, feet, face, or genitals. While warts are generally harmless, they can be uncomfortable, unsightly, and sometimes painful—especially if they develop on areas subjected to pressure or friction. At Dr. Kiran Puttaramaiah’s Skin & Hair Transplant Clinic, we offer safe, effective, and minimally invasive wart removal treatments tailored to each patient’s needs.

Understanding Warts

Warts vary in type, shape, and location. Common warts typically appear on the hands and fingers, plantar warts develop on the soles of the feet, flat warts appear in clusters on the face or legs, and genital warts occur in the genital area. Some warts resolve naturally over time, but many persist for months or years without treatment. They can also recur if the virus remains in the skin.

When to Seek Treatment

You should consider professional wart removal if:

• The wart is painful or causing discomfort.

• It is spreading to other parts of the body or to other people.

• It is located on the face or visible areas, affecting confidence.

• Over-the-counter treatments have failed.

• You have multiple or recurrent warts.

Wart Removal Treatments at Our Clinic

At our clinic, wart removal is performed by experienced dermatologists using advanced techniques that ensure minimal discomfort, quick healing, and reduced risk of recurrence. Depending on the type, size, and location of the wart, we may recommend one or a combination of the following treatments:

1. Cryotherapy (Freezing)

Liquid nitrogen is applied to the wart to freeze and destroy the infected tissue. This method is quick and effective for many types of warts, though multiple sessions may be needed.

2. Electrocautery

This technique uses controlled electric current to burn off the wart. It is especially useful for stubborn warts and allows precise removal with minimal damage to surrounding skin.

3. Laser Therapy

High-intensity laser light is used to destroy the wart tissue and seal blood vessels, reducing bleeding. This method is ideal for difficult-to-treat or recurrent warts.

4. Surgical Excision

For larger or resistant warts, minor surgical removal may be performed under local anesthesia.

5. Topical Treatments

Prescription-strength salicylic acid or other medicated solutions may be used to gradually dissolve the wart over time, often in combination with other methods.

Aftercare and Recovery

Post-treatment, mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur but usually resolves within a few days. Patients are advised to:

• Keep the treated area clean and dry.

• Avoid picking at scabs or wounds.

• Follow the dermatologist’s wound-care instructions.

• Use any prescribed topical medications to aid healing and prevent recurrence.
