Warts

Warts are very common - most warts on the hands, verruca vulgaris, plantar warts and plane warts resolve without treatment. Warts can be found in individuals of any age and in any location. They are particularly common in children and teenagers. Generally warts occur in those who are sexually active. There is a balance between the virus and the individual's immune system.

At Skin Renewal we offer traditional therapy such as Effudix and Aldara as well as in office treatments such as PDT with ALA to treat extensive warts. This is a procedure where a photosensitizing chemical such as ALA is topically applied and a specialized light is then used to destroy the virus. Other treatments are cryotherapy with Nitrous Oxide. As each patient's case is different; we will tailor a treatment program specifically for you and your circumstances. A highly professional team led by a medical doctor assesses every patient and an appropriate combination treatment together with long term maintenance program is recommended.
