What are Warts?

Ever noticed a rough, raised bump on your skin? You might have a wart. Warts are very common, affecting millions of people around Glasgow and everywhere else! But don’t worry, they’re usually harmless.

Here’s the breakdown:

Cause: Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), but don’t confuse them with the genital strains of HPV. There are over 100 types of HPV, and some cause these pesky bumps.

Appearance: Warts can appear anywhere on your body, but they’re most common on your hands (hand warts), feet (plantar warts), and face. They can be rough, smooth, flat, or cauliflower-shaped, and sometimes have tiny black dots in the center.

Spread: Warts are contagious, but casual contact isn’t usually enough to spread them. The virus thrives in moist environments, so sharing towels or picking at existing warts can increase your risk of contracting common warts.

Other Effective Warts Treatment Options

Freezing Plantar Warts for Relief

Cryotherapy is a common and effective method for treating verrucas (plantar warts) on the feet. At Harley Street Medics, our skilled practitioners apply liquid nitrogen directly to the verruca. The extreme cold freezes the wart tissue, disrupting its cells and causing it to die off.

Benefits of Cryotherapy for Verrucas:

  • Established Treatment: Cryotherapy is a well-established and frequently used treatment for verrucas.
  • Relatively Quick Sessions: Each treatment session is typically brief.
  • Can Be Effective for Many Verrucas: It works well for a significant number of plantar warts.

Considerations for Verruca Cryotherapy:

  • Multiple Treatments Likely: Be prepared for the possibility of needing several treatment sessions.
  • Blistering is Expected: The formation of a blister is a common side effect.
  • Potential for Temporary Walking Discomfort: The healing process can sometimes cause temporary discomfort when walking.

Precisely Burning Away Plantar Warts

Electrocautery is a precise method used to effectively remove verrucas by applying a controlled electrical current to the wart tissue. At Harley Street Medics, our experienced practitioners use specialized equipment to deliver heat directly to the verruca, destroying the wart cells.

How Electrocautery Works for Verrucas:

  • Targeted Heat: The electrical current generates heat that precisely cauterizes (burns) the verruca tissue.
  • Controlled Depth: Our practitioners carefully control the depth and intensity of the current to effectively remove the verruca while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin on the foot.

Benefits of Electrocautery for Verrucas:

  • Effective Verruca Removal: Electrocautery is a reliable method for eliminating plantar warts.
  • Precise Treatment: The electrical current can be precisely directed to the verruca, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy skin on the foot.
  • Good Option for Thicker Verrucas: It can be particularly effective for thicker, more established verrucas.

Considerations for Verruca Electrocautery:

  • Requires Local Anesthesia: The procedure requires a local anesthetic injection.
  • Scabbing and Healing Period: There is a healing period involving scabbing, and you may need to take precautions to protect the area.
  • Potential for Scarring: While generally minimal, there is a slight risk of scarring on the sole of the foot. Our clinicians will take steps to minimize this.
  • Possibility of Multiple Sessions: Complete removal might require more than one treatment session.

Reserved for Specific Cases

Surgical excision, where the verruca is cut out using a scalpel, is generally not the first-line treatment for verrucas at Harley Street Medics. We typically consider surgical excision for verrucas in specific circumstances, such as:

  • Large, Solitary Verrucas: If a verruca is particularly large and isolated.
  • Verrucas Unresponsive to Other Treatments: When other methods like cryotherapy or electrocautery have not been successful.

Important Considerations for Surgical Excision of Verrucas:

  • Potential for Scarring on the Sole of the Foot: Surgical excision on the sole of the foot carries a higher risk of scarring, which could potentially cause discomfort when walking.
  • Not Ideal for Multiple Verrucas: It’s generally not recommended for treating numerous verrucas at once.
  • Local Anesthesia Required: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
  • Stitches May Be Necessary: Depending on the size of the removed verruca, stitches may be required to close the wound.
  • Post-Operative Care is Crucial: Following our detailed aftercare instructions is essential to prevent infection and promote healing. You will likely need to keep weight off the treated foot for a period.
  • Healing Time: The healing time will vary depending on the size and location of the excised verruca.

When Might Surgical Excision be Considered for Verrucas at Harley Street Medics?

For a Single, Large, Resistant Verruca: In cases where a single plantar wart is significantly large and hasn’t responded to other treatments.

FAQs: Your Warts Removal Questions Answered
What are warts and verrucas, and what causes them?

Warts and verrucas are small, non-cancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Different strains of HPV cause different types of warts, including common warts, plantar warts (on the feet), flat warts, and filiform warts.

Several methods exist for wart and verruca removal, including over-the-counter treatments, cryotherapy (freezing), and laser treatment. At our Glasgow clinic, we specialize in advanced laser wart removal, offering a precise and effective solution.

The cost of wart removal varies depending on the method used and the size and location of the wart. Contact our Glasgow clinic for a personalized consultation and pricing information for our specialized laser treatments.

Stubborn warts often require professional treatment. Our clinic specializes in laser wart removal, providing a targeted approach for even the most persistent warts. Schedule a consultation at our Glasgow location to explore your options.

While surgical excision and cryotherapy are options, laser wart removal tends to be less invasive, have a quicker healing time, and a lower chance of scarring. At our Glasgow clinic, we are experts in laser treatments for warts.

Yes, we offer safe and effective laser wart removal for children in our Glasgow clinic. We understand children’s specific needs and strive to create a comfortable environment for their treatment.

Genital warts can be treated through various methods, including topical medications and cryotherapy. However, we specialize in precise laser treatment for genital warts in Glasgow, offering a highly effective solution with minimal discomfort.

The cost of genital wart removal depends on several factors, including the number and size of warts. Schedule a consultation with our Glasgow clinic for personalized pricing information about our laser treatments.

While some minor genital warts may clear up on their own, it’s crucial to consult a medical professional for accurate diagnosis and treatment. While some home remedies exist, we recommend professional laser treatment at our Glasgow clinic for the best results.

Anal warts are caused by certain strains of HPV. We offer laser treatment for anal and anogenital warts in our Glasgow clinic, providing a safe and effective solution in a discreet and professional setting.

Molluscum contagiosum is a common skin infection caused by a poxvirus. While it can sometimes clear up on its own, laser treatment can be a quick and effective solution, especially for children. We offer expert laser treatment for molluscum contagiosum in our Glasgow clinic.

Molluscum contagiosum typically presents as small, raised, flesh-colored bumps with a dimple in the center. If you notice these bumps, particularly in clusters, consult a medical professional.

While some topical medications can be used, laser treatment offers a more targeted approach to removing the bumps directly and preventing spread. Our Glasgow clinic offers advanced laser treatments for molluscum.

Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a harmless skin condition causing small, rough bumps, often on the arms and thighs. While there’s no cure, various treatments can manage the symptoms. At our Glasgow clinic, we use advanced laser technology for keratosis pilaris treatment to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of bumps.

KP is often genetic, caused by a buildup of keratin in hair follicles. While it can sometimes improve with age, it’s often a chronic condition.

Topical creams and exfoliants are often recommended, but laser treatment can provide more noticeable and long-lasting results. We offer cutting-edge laser treatment for keratosis pilaris in Glasgow.
