Understanding Warts: Essential Information
Warts are small, rough textured growths on the skin, often resembling a solid blister or cauliflower. They are caused by viral particles and can appear anywhere but are most common on hands and feet.
Types include:
- Common warts: Rough bumps on hands/fingers/knees.
- Plantar warts: Flat, painful growths on soles of feet.
- Flat warts: Small, smooth, often in clusters (face/neck/hands).
- Filiform warts: Thread-like, around mouth/nose/beard.
- Periungual warts: Around/under nails.
Warts develop when certain viral particles enter the skin through tiny cuts or breaks. Spread occurs via direct contact with a wart or contaminated surfaces.
Risk factors include:
- Skin trauma (cuts, scrapes).
- Frequent wet skin exposure (pools, showers).
- Close contact with someone who has warts.
- Weakened immune system.
- Age (more common in children/teenagers).
Warts can be stubborn because:
- The viral particles can lie dormant.
- The immune system may not effectively fight them.
- Deeper warts resist many topical treatments.
- Home treatments are often inconsistent.
- Re-occurrence can happen if not fully eliminated.
Though benign, warts can cause:
- Physical discomfort (especially plantar warts).
- Social embarrassment or self-consciousness.
- Limitations on activities (e.g., swimming).
- Worry about spreading them.
- Frustration with ineffective home treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wart Treatment
Warts are typically rough, grainy skin growths, sometimes with tiny black dots. Common warts appear on hands, plantar warts on feet soles. GMC-registered specialists will confirm the diagnosis during your consultation.
Yes, expert-administered solutions such as freezing therapy, targeted removal, or medicated applications tend to work more efficiently, particularly for stubborn warts. These methods address the concern more thoroughly than milder store-bought products.
The number of sessions needed can vary. Some concerns may improve after just one visit, while others—particularly with freezing or topical treatments—may require a few sessions spaced a few weeks apart. During your consultation, we’ll provide a tailored plan based on your needs.
Your comfort is our priority. Most treatments are well-tolerated—for example, precision removal involves measures to ensure minimal discomfort. Freezing therapy may cause a temporary cold or tingling sensation. Afterward, any tenderness is typically mild and can be eased with over-the-counter relief if needed. We’ll guide you through every step to keep your experience as smooth as possible.
Our techniques aim to minimise scarring. The outcome depends on wart size, location, method used, and individual healing. GMC-registered specialist selects methods considering the best aesthetic result for your specific case.
Proper professional treatment significantly reduces recurrence risk for the treated wart. However, since the viral particles can persist in the skin, new, unrelated warts might appear elsewhere later. Thorough treatment minimises this risk.
Costs depend on the number, size, location of warts, and the chosen treatment method(s). Please see the pricing guide above for indicative costs. A firm quote is provided after your £95 specialist consultation (redeemable against treatment).
