Wart Treatment

Warts are benign skin growths caused by HPV viruses. Medical treatment effectively removes the lesions and prevents further spread.

Fact Check

• Cause: Infection of the skin with Human Papillomavirus (HPV).
• Methods: Electrocautery (current), laser therapy, cryotherapy (freezing), or surgical removal.
• Advantage: Fast, precise removal, often in just one session.
• Duration: The treatment usually takes only approx. 30 minutes.
• Anesthesia: Local anesthesia or cooling is often sufficient.
• Healing: A crust forms which falls off after approx. 1 week; the area usually heals without scarring.
