Warts can occur on any body part and are usually small in size. They are painless and are caused by a papillomavirus. Warts can develop after a few months of exposure to the virus. Some warts can fade away on their own, but if the warts are the reason for embarrassment and lower self-confidence, then you can undergo Warts Removal in Islamabad & Abbottabad. The virus that causes warts is highly contagious and can easily transfer from one person to another with a single touch. It may occur on the hands, fingers, neck, feet, genitals, and knees. If your warts are disturbing your look and causing you pain, you should visit the dermatologist as soon as possible to avoid future complications.
Causes of Warts:
The main cause of warts formation is due to HPV. However, the chances of warts increase if you come in contact with a wart directly or you have a habit of biting your nails. Contaminated towels, door knobs, and floor can also cause wart formation.
Expected Outcomes:
The expected outcomes vary for every type of treatment. However, the results that our dermatologist provides are highly effective and even permanent. In the case of laser treatment, you will need 2 or 3 sessions to get the desired results. It is best to discuss your goals with the doctor during the initial consultation to avoid any future inconvenience.

Right Candidate for the Treatment:
Warts can cause discomfort and pain if they spread from time to time. Before undergoing the Warts Removal in Islamabad, Abbottabad & Pakistan, the dermatologist will examine your skin and may perform a biopsy to confirm that the unusual growth is a wart. You fall in the candidacy criteria if:

Treatment Options for Warts Removal:
During the initial consultation, the dermatologist will tell you the treatment options, and you can select the treatment based on your goals and choice. Some of the best treatment options are:
Laser Surgery:
In laser treatment, the skin expert may apply numbing cream or local anesthesia to avoid discomfort. He then directs the laser light towards the targeted area to destroy the wart. After completing the procedure, he may apply a soothing lotion to minimize the burning sensation. You may require multiple laser treatment sessions depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of warts.
Cryotherapy:
Cryotherapy involves freezing warts by using liquid nitrogen. The dermatologist applies liquid nitrogen with the help of a spray or a cotton swab. This nitrogen will freeze warts, and it will fall off later. To get the best-desired results, you will need a few cryotherapy sessions.
Chemical Peels:
Chemical peels are a non-invasive treatment for getting rid of warts. The doctor usually uses salicylic acid peeling solution. The chemical peel removes the upper damaged layer of the skin. And the warts are peeled off over time. The salicylic acid used in the solution also triggers the immune system to destroy the virus, which has caused warts.
Excision:
In excision, the wart is removed with the help of the blade. It is a little painful procedure and should not be performed at home. Excision may lead to scarring if an unskilled person performs it.
Recovery and Aftercare Instructions:
As all the above treatments are less invasive and painless, you will only need a few days to recover. In the case of laser treatment, you can continue your daily life activities right after the treatment. Following are some after-care instructions that you need to follow to avoid any side effects and for timely recovery:
- Use sunscreen if you are going out
