Home /Warts Removal

At Skinaite Clinic, we understand how warts, although typically harmless, can cause discomfort, inconvenience, and even emotional distress. Our team of caring professionals is here to guide you through everything you need to know about warts and their removal, offering you the best treatment options and ensuring you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.

What Are Warts?

Warts are small, rough growths that can appear anywhere on the skin. They come in various sizes and colors, from skin-toned to darker shades. Warts are caused by an infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus that affects the skin. While they are usually harmless, they can become annoying and sometimes even painful. Warts can also cause embarrassment, especially if they appear on more visible parts of the body. But don’t worry—at Skinaite Clinic, we take the time to explain your treatment options and help you find the solution that works best for you.

What Are the Different Types of Warts?

Warts vary in appearance depending on the type and the area of the body where they appear. Here are the common types of warts that you might encounter:

Common Warts

These are raised, rough bumps, often appearing on the fingers, hands, and knees. They tend to be small and can be spread by touching.

Plantar Warts

These are hard and painful warts that form on the soles of the feet. They often have black dots inside, which are blood vessels. They can make walking uncomfortable, so we advise prompt treatment to reduce discomfort.

Flat Warts

These are small, smooth, and flat-topped warts that usually appear on the face, neck, arms, or legs. While they are not painful, they can affect your appearance, and treatment may be necessary to help restore your skin's appearance.

Filiform Warts

These long, narrow growths typically develop around the mouth, eyes, or nose. They can be bothersome, but treatment can provide relief.

Genital Warts

These warts appear in the genital or anal areas and are sexually transmitted. It's important to seek professional treatment as soon as you notice symptoms, and we at Skinaite Clinic are here to provide you with confidential and effective care.

Periungual Warts

Found around or under the nails, these warts can be painful and may interfere with nail growth. It’s essential to seek treatment to avoid further complications.

What Are the Symptoms of Warts?

While the appearance of warts can vary, they generally share a few common symptoms:

  • Small, fleshy bumps on the skin
  • A rough or grainy texture
  • A hard center (core)
  • Black dots inside the wart (clotted blood vessels)
  • Pain, especially with plantar warts
  • Itching or discomfort
  • A cluster of warts, which is particularly common with flat or plantar warts

If you notice any of these signs, we recommend reaching out to us for an evaluation so we can guide you on the best treatment options.

Common Symptoms of Acne

Here are some signs that you might be dealing with acne:

  • Blackheads and whiteheads
  • Red, inflamed bumps (papules)
  • Pus-filled pimples (pustules)
  • Painful lumps under the skin (nodules and cysts)
  • Oily skin
  • Dark marks or scars after pimples heal

In some people, acne may also cause low self-confidence or anxiety. If this is affecting your emotional well-being, please feel free to speak with us—we care about your mental and emotional health, too.

What Are the Causes of Warts?

Warts are primarily caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which enters the skin through small cuts or scratches. The virus then stimulates the growth of skin cells, forming a wart. Here are some common causes or risk factors:

  • Direct contact with someone who has warts
  • Touching surfaces like public showers or swimming pools, where the virus may be present
  • Having a weakened immune system, which may make you more susceptible to infections
  • Biting nails or picking at skin, which can expose you to HPV
  • Sharing personal items such as razors, towels, or shoes, which can spread the virus

We at Skinaite Clinic always encourage practicing good hygiene and taking preventive measures, but if you do develop warts, don’t worry—we’re here to help.

What Is the Treatment for Warts?

While many warts resolve on their own, treatment is often necessary if they are painful, spreading, or not healing. At Skinaite Clinic, we offer various treatments tailored to your specific needs:

  1. Topical Medications:
    • Salicylic Acid: This medication helps peel away the layers of the wart.
    • Imiquimod Cream: This stimulates the immune system to fight the wart.
  2. Cryotherapy (Freezing):
    • Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze the wart, which eventually falls off. This procedure may require several sessions.
  3. Laser Therapy:
    • Laser treatment destroys the wart by targeting the blood vessels that feed it. This is particularly effective for stubborn or deep warts.
  4. Electrosurgery or Cautery:
    • This technique uses electric currents to burn the wart, offering an effective solution for certain types.
  5. Surgical Removal:
    • In some cases, the wart may need to be cut out under local anesthesia. This method is often used when other treatments fail.
  6. Chemical Peels:
    • For flat warts, particularly those on the face or larger areas, a chemical peel can help remove the wart while being gentle on the skin.

We always advise that over-the-counter treatments are used with caution. For faster and more effective results, a consultation with one of our medical professionals ensures that you are receiving the safest care.

Yes, warts are contagious. The virus that causes warts can spread through:

  • Skin-to-skin contact with someone who has warts

  • Touching contaminated surfaces, such as in public pools or showers

  • Sharing personal items like towels, razors, or footwear

  • Scratching or shaving over warts, which can lead to self-spreading

Warts can vary greatly in appearance, but generally, they are:

  • Small, raised growths with a rough texture

  • Skin-colored, white, pink, or brown

  • Featuring black pinpoints (clotted blood vessels)

  • Can be flat, bumpy, or cauliflower-like in shape

Many warts do go away on their own, particularly in children, although this can take anywhere from a few months to a few years. However:

  • Some warts may grow, spread, or become painful.

  • Individuals with weakened immune systems may experience persistent or recurring warts.

For a quicker resolution, seeking professional treatment is often the best option. Our team is here to support you in making the right choice for your health.

Warts can last from a few months to several years. In children, they may disappear on their own within 6-12 months. In adults or those with weakened immune systems, they can last longer or keep recurring. But don’t worry—at Skinaite Clinic, we offer treatments that can significantly reduce the duration and discomfort of warts.
