How does the treatment work?
There are a couple of different ways to treat warts and verruca in the clinic. Your medical professional will assess the condition and decide what the best option will be.
The most common is excision removal. This procedure uses a surgical instrument called a curette to scrape and remove the wart/verruca. This is done after the local anesthetic is injected into the area to ensure you feel no pain. A small stitch may be needed.
Another method is using a laser. A highly targeted beam of laser light is aimed at the wart or verruca. This heats up the blood vessels which in turn destroys the blood supply to the wart. This starves the wart/verruca of nutrients, so it naturally falls off after a few weeks. This method usually involves a couple of treatments.
Does the treatment hurt?
With excision of a wart, the area is injected with a local anesthetic which can be uncomfortable. However, once the anesthetic starts working you shouldn’t feel any pain.
If the laser is used, you will feel a hot sting, similar to an elastic band hitting the skin. The feeling can be uncomfortable but doesn’t require any anesthetic or pain relief.
Will my wart/verruca come back?
If the wart/verruca has been successfully treated and removed, it will not come back. However, if the virus that caused the wart/verruca is still active in your body, there is a chance that new warts/verrucas will grow.
