Having Warts Burned
How Is It Done? Which Method Is More Effective?

What Is a Wart and How Is It Noticed?

Because a wart that forms on the body is small at first, it is mostly not noticed immediately. Many people confuse these warts with skin tags and think, "Did I have this before?" It is only when the wart starts to grow and multiply that one realizes these lesions are not skin tags.

A person who starts researching on the internet learns that the formation they see is a wart. If they get information from a reliable source, they also learn what kind of infection HPV is, how it is transmitted and how it is treated. We recommend that you carefully read our other articles about HPV, genital warts and condyloma.

How Do Warts Go Away?

Warts are usually benign skin lesions that can be destroyed by the immune system over time. However, in people with a weak immune system, warts can remain for a long time or may not disappear completely.

In this case, medical intervention is required. The choice of treatment is determined according to the type, size, number and location of the wart.

Wart Treatment Methods

The methods used in wart treatment are:

• Topical treatments (ointments and creams)
• Cryotherapy (wart freezing)
• Electrocautery (wart burning)
• Laser treatment
• Surgical methods

Wart treatment may sometimes need to be repeated. Because warts are caused by the virus under the skin, they can recur from time to time.

Having Warts Burned with Electrocautery

Electrocautery is a method that has been used for many years. The wart is burned with an electric current. The smoke and smell that arise during the procedure show that the tissue is indeed being burned.

However, after electrocautery, a scar may sometimes remain. Laser applications may be needed to correct these scars.

Wart Removal

It is preferred especially in stalked warts and condylomas. The root of the wart is cut out with scissors, a scalpel or cautery. If necessary, bleeding control is provided with sutures or cautery.

Wart Freezing (Cryotherapy)

The wart is frozen using nitrogen gas. The frozen tissue decays and falls off over time. However, in deep-rooted warts, recurrence can sometimes be seen.

Wart Burning with a Fractional Laser

The most advantageous method in wart burning is the fractional laser. It leaves less scarring and there is less pain after the procedure. For this reason, we prefer the fractional laser for having warts burned in our treatment practice.

The fractional laser is also used in procedures such as stretch-mark treatment, skin lightening and vaginal tightening.
