Warts

Warts are caused by a virus called Human Papilloma (HPV).  When you contract the virus on your hands and face, a small “cauliflower like” growth appears, known as a wart.

We  only treat warts on the face or hands.  The wart is curretted and then cuatery or a hyfrecator is used to stop any bleeding.  A scab forms that may last for 7-10 days and then hopefully there will no longer be a wart.  However, in some cases, 1-3 treatments may be necessary for clearance of the wart.

Whilst the success rate of this treatment is very high, it is not 100% as some warts fail to respond despite our best efforts.

There is a consultation fee of £50 with Dr Patel, which is refundable against the cost of the treatment.
