Wart (Verrue) Treatment

It is a skin disease caused by a virus referred to as Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which causes dome-like rashes, which may be skin-colored or slightly brown colored.

Treatment Method

Although it is most common on the fingers and soles of the feet, it can be seen in all areas of the skin. It can be transmitted from person to person through contact. Also, it may increase and spread due to reasons such as scratching and fiddling.

Warts are infections that affect only the top layer of the skin. For this reason, wart treatments are aimed at damaging the upper layer of the skin. This damage can be done using cryotherapy, electrocautery, acid applications or Er:YAG laser. Electrocautery and Er:YAG laser damage are the most controlled methods, the risk of blemishing after the procedure is very low.

Nd:YAG laser is also used to close the vessels which are feeding the wart, when the wart is not very swollen or after the wart is thinned by superficial shaving with the Er:YAG laser. With the addition of this procedure, warts are treated with the least number of sessions and the least risk of blemishing.
