Warts & Verruca Removal Treatment in Hyderabad

Have you noticed rough, bumpy growths on your hands, feet, or other parts of your body? These are likely warts, benign (non-cancerous) skin growths caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Warts on the soles of the feet are specifically called verrucas (plantar warts) and can sometimes be painful when walking. While some warts disappear on their own, many are persistent, can spread, and are often cosmetically undesirable. At Dr. Nishita’s Clinic in Hyderabad, we offer a range of effective treatments to remove warts and verrucas safely and minimise recurrence.

Understanding Warts & Verrucas

Warts are caused by various strains of HPV infecting the top layer of skin, causing rapid growth of cells and resulting in a visible lesion. They are contagious through direct skin-to-skin contact or indirectly via contaminated surfaces (like shower floors or towels). Types include:

  • Common Warts: Rough, raised bumps, often on hands, fingers, and around nails.
  • Plantar Warts (Verrucas): Occur on the soles of the feet; can grow inwards due to pressure, often have tiny black dots (clotted blood vessels), and can be painful.
  • Plane (Flat) Warts: Smoother, flat-topped warts, often numerous, common on the face, neck, and legs.
  • Filiform Warts: Long, finger-like projections, often on the face, neck, or eyelids.
  • Periungual Warts: Occur around fingernails or toenails.

Common Signs & Symptoms

  • Small, fleshy, grainy, or hard bumps.
  • Rough texture (common warts).
  • Flat top (plane warts).
  • Presence of tiny black dots (often in verrucas).
  • Pain or tenderness, especially with verrucas on weight-bearing areas.
  • Can occur singly or in clusters.

Causes & Transmission

  • Human Papillomavirus (HPV): Different strains cause different types of warts.
  • Direct Contact: Touching someone’s wart.
  • Indirect Contact: Contact with contaminated objects or surfaces (towels, razors, gym floors, pool decks).
  • Autoinoculation: Spreading the virus from one part of your own body to another (e.g., via scratching or shaving).
  • Broken Skin: Small cuts or abrasions allow the virus to enter.
  • Weakened Immune System: Individuals with compromised immunity may be more susceptible or have more persistent warts.

Our Tailored Approach to Wart Removal in Hyderabad

We aim for effective clearance while minimising discomfort and scarring:

Confirming the lesion is a wart and distinguishing it from other skin growths (like corns or moles).

Choosing the most appropriate method based on wart type, location, size, number, patient age, and preference.

Using local anaesthesia when necessary for potentially painful procedures.

Providing advice on how to avoid spreading warts to others or other body parts.

Warts can be stubborn; sometimes multiple treatments or combination therapy are needed.

Advanced Wart & Verruca Treatments at Dr. Nishita’s Clinic

We offer several effective removal options:

Applying liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart tissue, causing it to blister and fall off. Multiple sessions are often required.

Prescription-strength peeling agents applied topically to gradually dissolve the wart tissue. Requires consistent application.

Burning the wart tissue with an electrical probe (electrocautery) and then scraping it away (curettage). Often done under local anaesthesia.

Using specific lasers (e.g., Pulsed Dye Laser, CO2 Laser) to target the blood vessels feeding the wart or vaporise the wart tissue. Useful for difficult-to-treat warts.

Applying substances (like Diphencyprone – DPCP) to induce a localized allergic reaction that helps the body’s immune system fight the wart virus.

A blistering agent applied in the clinic that causes a blister to form under the wart, lifting it off the skin.

Injecting substances like Bleomycin or Interferon directly into the wart (less common, reserved for resistant cases).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes, warts are contagious. The HPV virus can spread through direct contact or contaminated surfaces. Avoid touching warts (yours or others’), don’t share personal items like towels or razors, and wear footwear in communal areas like pools and gyms.

Warts can be challenging because the HPV virus may persist in the surrounding skin. Recurrence is common, and multiple treatment sessions or different approaches may be needed for complete clearance.

Discomfort varies with the treatment. Cryotherapy stings briefly. Electrocautery/curettage is done under local anaesthesia. Laser treatments can cause some discomfort. Dr. Nishita prioritises patient comfort during procedures.

Over-the-counter salicylic acid preparations can work for some simple warts, but they require persistence and correct application. For facial warts, numerous warts, painful verrucas, or warts not responding to home treatment, professional dermatological care is recommended for safety and effectiveness.
