What Are Warts?
Warts are rough skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They commonly appear on the hands, fingers, feet, face and neck, and can spread by touch or to other parts of your own skin. Most are harmless, but they can be sore, catch on clothing or affect how you feel about visible skin.
Why diagnosis matters. Not every growth is a wart. Moles, skin tags, corns and some skin cancers can look similar. The American Academy of Dermatology advises seeing a dermatologist for warts on the face or genitals, warts that change, bleed, hurt or itch, many warts, uncertainty about the diagnosis, or if you have diabetes or a weakened immune system.
We examine the growth first and tell you if it needs a dermatologist's review or a biopsy instead of treatment. Our CO₂ laser page covers one of the tools sometimes used for skin growths.
Types of Warts We Assess
Common warts on fingers and hands
Plantar warts on the soles
Flat warts on the face, arms or legs
Filiform warts around the face or neck
Periungual warts around the nails
Genital warts, which need a doctor's review
Who Assesses and Plans Your Treatment
Dr. Karishma Singh, Founder and Skin & Aesthetic Specialist (BHMS, FCHD), leads treatment planning and procedures. Dr. Monica C., Consultant Dermatologist (MD Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy; NMC-registered), assesses medical causes and prescribes medicines where they are needed.
Procedures such as cryotherapy, cautery, laser and injections are medical treatments. We tell you at the consultation which doctor assesses and performs yours, and we refer you if the growth looks like something other than a wart.
How Our Wart Removal Treatment Works
Examination & Diagnosis
We examine the growth, ask how long it has been there and whether it has changed, and tell you if it needs a biopsy or specialist review.
Personalised Plan
We explain the options, the likely number of sessions, the risks of each and the written fee before you decide.
Treatment
Depending on the plan, treatment may be freezing, cautery, laser, a topical product or a combination.
Aftercare & Review
You get written aftercare. We review the area at set intervals and change the plan if the wart is not clearing.
Wart Removal Options in Pune
Cryotherapy (Freezing)
Liquid nitrogen freezes the wart. The AAD says it is often repeated every 2 to 4 weeks, healing takes about 4 to 7 days, and it can cause lightening, darkening or scarring.
Electrosurgery and Curettage
The wart is burned and scraped away, usually in one visit. The area can be sore, swollen or bleed, and the skin colour can change.
Laser Treatment
Used for stubborn warts, sometimes over several sessions. The AAD notes the area can stay sore for up to two weeks, with possible bleeding and temporary discolouration.
Surgical Excision
The wart is cut out in one visit. Risks include bleeding, infection and scarring.
Topical and Injected Medicines
Prescription products such as salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid or others chosen by a doctor, used at home or in clinic.
Combination Plans
Combined plans are used for several or stubborn warts and adjusted as the area responds.
What Results Can You Expect?
Untreated warts can take months or years to clear on their own, and the AAD notes treatment can clear them faster and lower the chance of spreading the virus. Warts are easier to treat when there are fewer and smaller ones.
Several treatment sessions are common, and warts can return because the virus may remain in nearby skin. Results vary from person to person and cannot be promised.
Wart Removal Cost in Pune
The cost depends on the number, size and location of the warts, the method chosen, the number of sessions and any follow-up visits.
We don't work from a fixed price list. After your consultation you receive the recommended plan and a written fee, so you can decide at your own pace.
What Our Wart Plan Covers
Confirms the diagnosis first. Other growths can look like warts.
Explains each option and its risks. Including scarring and colour change.
Matches the method to the wart. Location, size and number all matter.
Plans for repeat sessions. Many warts need more than one.
Explains recurrence honestly. Warts can return.
Gives written aftercare and review. So healing is checked.
Downtime After Wart Removal
Healing depends on the method. After freezing the AAD says about 4 to 7 days, and after laser the area can stay sore for up to two weeks.
A blister, scab, redness or swelling can appear and settle as the skin heals.
Treatment on the feet can make walking uncomfortable for a few days.
Post-Care After Wart Removal
Keep the area clean and covered if we advise.
Do not pick at blisters or scabs.
Protect healing skin from the sun to reduce the risk of dark marks.
Do not share towels, razors or nail tools, and avoid walking barefoot in shared wet areas.
Keep appointments for repeat sessions.
Contact us if there is spreading redness, pus, severe pain or fever.
Safety, Side Effects and Choosing Who Treats You
Freezing, cautery and laser can cause pain, blistering, bleeding, colour change and scarring. Injected or acid-based treatments can cause pain and skin darkening. Infection is uncommon but possible. Scars can matter more on the face and soles.
Tell us if you have diabetes, a weakened immune system, poor circulation, a tendency to keloid scars, are pregnant, or take blood thinners or other medicines.
