Other treatment methods

When the regular treatments don't show any results your general practitioner can forward you to have them surgically removed. Below you can find the available surgical treatments:

Electro-coagulation

With this treatment the wart is burned with a laser suitable for surgical purposes.

Curettage

The wart is scraped away using a sharp metal spoon. Often the base is then coagulated or treated with liquid nitrogen.

Laser

With a Co2 laser or another type of "burning laser", the wart can be burned off.

Bleomycine

This form of chemotherapy is used for extremely stubborn, therapy resistant warts. In adults it can be applied by injecting the wart using a very fine needle. The toxic kills the wart cells from within.

Surgery

Cutting away warts is not usually a good option. The operation is often major and takes place in areas that are difficult to treat (hands/feet). Very often, the wart will return in the scarred tissue. Cutting the wart is not a solution, because the virus remains behind in the skin.
