Warts Treatment

All types of viral warts removed safely with radiofrequency, cryotherapy or CO₂ laser — minimal pain, minimal scarring.

Overview

What is Warts Treatment?

Warts are skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are common, contagious and frustrating — they can appear on the hands (common warts), face (filiform / flat warts), soles (painful plantar warts that look like corns), and genitals (where they are sexually transmitted and need careful management).

At Orange Skin Clinic, Tirunelveli, we identify the type of wart first — many supposed "corns" on the foot are actually plantar warts, and many "moles" on the face are filiform warts that need a different approach. Dermoscopy distinguishes them in seconds.

We offer three precise removal techniques, chosen based on wart location, size and number. Radiofrequency ablation is our most common method — fast, controlled, minimal scarring, and ideal for face, neck and most body sites. Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen freezes the wart in 10–20 second cycles and is excellent for hands, feet and multiple small warts. CO₂ laser is reserved for resistant, large or genital warts where precision is essential.

For genital and anal warts (HPV), we follow international protocols: physical removal combined with topical immunotherapy (imiquimod, podophyllotoxin) and partner counselling. We also discuss HPV vaccination for prevention.

Warts can recur — the virus can persist in surrounding normal-looking skin. We use immunotherapy (intralesional MMR or Candida antigen) for multiple or recurrent warts, which stimulates the immune system to clear all warts including untreated ones.

Most single warts clear in 1–3 sessions. If you have searched for wart removal in Tirunelveli or painless wart treatment near me, our dermatologist offers all modalities under one roof.

Frequently Asked Questions

Single warts usually clear permanently. Multiple / recurrent warts often need immunotherapy for full clearance.

Yes — through direct contact and shared towels / razors / footwear. Avoid sharing personal items.

With professional removal, scarring is minimal — far less than home cauterisation or scratching.

Yes — we use child-friendly methods like cryotherapy with topical anaesthesia. Many childhood warts also clear with immunotherapy.

Yes — warts spread by direct skin contact, shared towels, razors and walking barefoot in damp public areas.

Some do — within 1–2 years — but treatment is faster, prevents spread and reduces scarring.

HPV virus can persist in surrounding skin. Multiple treatment sessions and immune-boosting therapies reduce recurrence.

Both are caused by HPV but different strains. Genital warts need specific treatment and partner screening.
