Treatments

Specialised care and treatments offered

WARTS

Warts

The result of infection by human papillomavirus (HPV), warts are benign growths that commonly appear on hands and feet. They are contagious yet harmless in most cases unless causing discomfort or cosmetic concern.

  • Symptoms include raised rough-surfaced bumps varying in size/colors depending location;
  • Diagnosis relies upon visual inspection though biopsy occasionally performed if uncertain;
  • Treatment strategies include cryotherapy (freezing), salicylic acid applications along with electrosurgery for persistent lesions;
  • Expect some recurrence since HPV remains latent after visible wart removal requiring possible repeated treatments;

Prompt treatment not only resolves lesions but prevents spread especially important for children active in communal environments.
