Understanding Warts and Medical Management
Anatomical & Viral Explanation
Warts are common skin growths linked to certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus affects the outer layer of the skin and may enter through small cuts or damaged skin. This can lead to excess skin cell growth, causing rough, raised or hardened areas on the skin.
Different types of warts can develop on the hands, feet, face or other parts of the body. In some cases, warts may spread through direct skin contact or shared surfaces, especially when the skin barrier is weakened.
Clinical Treatment Approach
Medical wart removal treatments aim to manage and remove affected tissue while supporting skin recovery. Treatment selection depends on factors such as the type of wart, its location, the number of lesions present and individual skin sensitivity.
At Mendis Aesthetics, treatment options may include medical-grade cryotherapy, electrocautery or laser-based procedures. Some patients may require multiple treatment sessions depending on the size and depth of the wart.

How Wart Removal Treatment Works
Our team follows a structured approach to wart removal, starting with an assessment before any treatment begins.
Clinical Diagnosis & Assessment
Dr Mendis examines the growth to confirm it is a wart and rule out other skin conditions such as corns, calluses, or moles. This step determines the most suitable removal method for your case.
Targeted Wart Removal Treatment
Depending on the type, size and location of the wart, treatment may involve cryotherapy, electrocautery or laser-based methods. The selected treatment targets the affected tissue while aiming to minimise unnecessary damage to the surrounding skin.
Recovery and Aftercare
After removal, the treated area typically forms a small scab as it heals. Dr Mendis provides aftercare instructions to keep the area clean and support recovery.

Benefits of Warts Removal
- Helps Reduce Spread: Removing the wart addresses the source of the HPV growth, which may help lower the chance of it spreading to other areas or people.
- Targets the Affected Area: Clinical methods allow the doctor to focus treatment on the wart while minimising impact on the surrounding skin.
- Addresses Physical Discomfort: Warts on pressure points, like the soles of the feet or fingers, can cause pain during everyday movement. Removal may help relieve this.
- Improves Skin Appearance: Once healed, the treated area generally returns to a smoother surface, which can be particularly relevant for visible areas like the face, neck, or hands.
Suitable for Persistent Warts: Clinical removal is an option worth discussing with a doctor if over-the-counter treatments haven’t worked for you.
Common Treatment Areas for Warts
Medical wart removal treatments may be performed on different parts of the body depending on the type and location of the wart:
Hands and Fingers
Common warts often appear on the hands and fingers due to frequent skin contact and minor skin breaks from daily activities.
Face and Neck
Flat or filiform warts can develop on visible areas such as the face and neck.
The Feet
Plantar warts typically develop on pressure-bearing areas of the feet, including the soles and heels. Some people may experience discomfort while walking or standing for long periods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I avoid treating deep warts with over-the-counter home kits?
Over-the-counter options like salicylic acid patches or freeze sprays work on the skin’s surface and may not be suitable for all wart types. A doctor can assess your case and recommend the most appropriate treatment for you.
Is the professional wart removal process painful?
A numbing cream or local anaesthetic is typically applied before treatment, so most patients experience little to no pain during the procedure. Dr Mendis will discuss what to expect during your consultation.
How many sessions will I need for complete clearance?
This varies depending on the size, type and depth of the wart. Some cases may be addressed in a single session, while others may require more. Dr Mendis will advise you after your assessment.
Can a wart return even after successful medical removal?
It is possible. Since warts are caused by HPV, re-exposure to the virus can lead to a new growth developing. Practising good hygiene and following your doctor’s aftercare advice may help reduce this risk.
