Wart removal can be tricky if you have little or no knowledge about the proper ways to get rid of those warts. Imagine making incomplete removals and seeing them return as if they are back with a vengeance. If you are thinking of removing those warts for your children, you may wish to note that juvenile warts do vanish over time and it may not be necessary to do anything for the time being. Whatever reason you may have for wanting to get rid of those ugly warts, this article would discuss about the methods and treatment available to remove the warts in a more controlled environment under the care of a professional, ie the dermatologist.

Warts can be removed by a dermatologist or doctor at your local clinic. As the removal can be painful and cause some discomfort, the dermatologist would normally apply anesthetic on the warts and its surrounding skin to alleviate the pain. Depending on the type of warts, age of patient and other factors, your dermatologist may tailor the removal method for you accordingly. Another point to note is whether your insurance policy does cover such treatment procedures. I have to caution you early that if you are getting rid of those warts purely for cosmetic reasons, ie to enhance your looks and physical appearance, the medical expenses may not be claimable. Please check with your insurance company and the dermatologist.

Broadly, there are 5 removal methods in the market, and 4 are done at the dermatologist. The last type is self-administered.

Excision with Scissors/Scalpel

This is one the most conventional removal method used by most dermatologist. The warts are excised or cut off from the skin at the base. This is the preferred option for large warts.

Cauterization/Electro-Surgery of Warts

This in short is the procedure for burning off warts with electric current.

Freezing Off the Warts

Forceps or metallic tweezers are used to hold and secure the warts. Liquid nitrogen is then applied to the handling tool to freeze off the warts. This wart removal method is also known as cryotherapy.

Laser Surgery

Perhaps the most expensive method of all, laser surgery is also reputed to be the most thorough way to remove the warts.

Finally, the last common removal method which can be carried out at home is by using over-the-counter medications. Visit the pharmacy and purchase plasters, solution or gel containing tretinoin, salicylic acid or other medications containing skin-exfoliating agents.

While the above methods are commonly applied by most people, there are still associated risks you must consider. External procedures performed at the dermatologist can be painful and in some cases, the wounds can remain uncomfortable and irritating for several days. Warts are also notorious for being a recurring skin condition.
