Warts are common skin growths caused by a viral infection, specifically the human papillomavirus (HPV). These growths can be passed from person to person, sometimes indirectly, with the time from initial contact to the appearance of visible warts often taking several months. The risk of transmission is relatively small, and some people are more susceptible to the virus than others. Factors like skin damage or a weakened immune system can increase one’s vulnerability to wart infections.

In children, warts may disappear without treatment over several months to years. However, treatment is advisable if warts are bothersome, painful, or rapidly multiplying. In adults, warts can be more persistent and may not resolve as easily or quickly as they do in children.

Wart removal is a common procedure to address these growths effectively. The specific treatment approach may vary from patient to patient, depending on the nature and location of the warts. During your free consultation, qualified doctors and nurses will discuss the procedure with you, ensuring you are well-informed about the process and any possible side effects.
