Wart Removal
Simple Solutions for Clearer, Healthier Skin
Warts might be small, but they can be a big nuisance. Whether they’re on your hands, feet, or somewhere more sensitive, warts are common skin growths that many people want removed—for comfort, appearance, or peace of mind.
At our walk-in clinic, we offer safe, effective wart removal treatments that can be done quickly and with minimal discomfort. No hospital visit. No long wait. Just professional care and real results.
What Are Warts?
Warts are non-cancerous skin growths caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They often appear on the hands, feet, face, or genitals, and can vary in size, shape, and texture. Though typically harmless, warts can:
- Be painful (especially on pressure points like the feet)
- Multiply or spread
- Cause embarrassment or self-consciousness
HPV is very contagious, and warts can be spread through direct contact with the wart or by touching surfaces where the virus is present (like showers, gym equipment, or towels).
When Should You Seek Wart Removal?
Warts often go away on their own—but that could take months or even years. You should consider removal if:
- The wart is painful, bleeding, or spreading
- It’s causing discomfort while walking or using your hands
- You’re concerned about appearance or hygiene
- Over-the-counter treatments haven’t worked
- You’re immunocompromised, pregnant, or have diabetes
Professional treatment can reduce the chance of scarring, recurrence, or spreading the virus to others.
Types of Warts
Different types of warts can appear on different parts of the body:
Our Wart Removal Treatments
We offer several clinically proven methods to remove warts, tailored to your needs and skin type:
Cryotherapy (Freezing)
One of the most common methods—liquid nitrogen is applied to the wart to freeze and destroy the tissue. It may cause a blister, and the wart typically falls off within 7–10 days. Multiple treatments may be needed for stubborn warts.
Electrosurgery or Cauterization
Uses a small electrical current to burn off the wart under local anesthesia. This method is fast, especially for thicker warts.
Excision (Surgical Removal)
The wart is carefully cut away using sterile tools under numbing medication. This option is often used when other treatments fail or when biopsy is needed.
Topical Treatments
Prescription-strength solutions or creams (like salicylic acid or immune-response modifiers) may be applied at the clinic or used at home under provider guidance.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your wart removal appointment typically includes:
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients can return to work or school the same day. Aftercare tips may include:
- Keeping the area clean and dry
- Using a bandage if the skin is broken
- Avoiding picking or scratching
- Following up if the wart returns
Some people may need repeat treatments for stubborn warts, especially plantar warts.
Preventing Future Warts
While it’s hard to completely avoid HPV exposure, here’s how you can reduce your risk:
- Avoid walking barefoot in public showers or pool areas
- Don’t pick or scratch warts (this can spread the virus)
- Keep feet dry and clean—especially if prone to sweating
- Don’t share razors, towels, socks, or nail clippers
- Wash hands regularly, especially after touching a wart
- Consider the HPV vaccine for certain strains of the virus
