Warts
Addressing the Discomfort and Embarrassment of Warts
Warts can be more than just a minor physical nuisance; they often carry with them a sense of embarrassment and discomfort. At Beyond Skin, I understand the impact that warts can have on your daily life and self-esteem. Providing effective, discreet treatment for warts is a priority, ensuring you can return to your daily activities with confidence.
Demystifying Warts: Types and Causes
Warts are small growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear anywhere on the body but are most commonly found on the hands, feet, and genitals. Warts vary in appearance and can be rough, smooth, flat, or raised. While generally harmless, warts can be contagious, spreading to other parts of the body or to other people through direct contact.
Comprehensive Wart Treatment Options
At Beyond Skin, I offer a variety of treatments tailored to the type, location, and number of warts, as well as your personal preferences:
- Cryotherapy: Freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen to remove it.
- Salicylic Acid Treatments: Application of a high-strength salicylic acid solution to peel the wart away gradually.
- Laser Treatment: Using laser therapy to cut off the wart’s blood supply or burn the wart tissue.
- Electrosurgery and Curettage: Burning the wart and scraping it off under local anaesthetic.
- Chemical Peels: Utilising stronger acids (e.g., trichloroacetic acid) in a controlled manner to remove warts.
Each treatment option is selected based on its effectiveness for your specific case, considering factors such as the wart’s size, depth, and location. Alongside these treatments, I also provide advice on preventing the spread of warts and managing any potential recurrence.
If you’re dealing with warts and looking for a solution, come to Beyond Skin. Let’s work together to find the right treatment approach for you, aiming for clear, healthy skin.
