Wart removal Vienna

Removing warts with liquid nitrogen 

Tinctures or wart plasters are used for conventional wart removal in Vienna. These are only partially effective. In our dermatological practice, warts are dabbed with liquid nitrogen and then scraped off. In stubborn cases, surgery or laser treatment may be necessary.

Plantar warts

Plantar warts occur on the sole of the foot. If they grow inwards, they are difficult to treat in the heel area. Deeply ingrown plantar warts are very painful due to the pressure when walking.

Plantar warts are usually removed by means of icing. In some cases, however, surgical removal is necessary because plantar warts are often very stubborn.

Genital warts

In the genital area or on the buttocks, these are usually genital warts (condylomas). These are not only annoying, but can also lead to cancer if they persist for a long time. Genital warts must therefore always be consistently removed.

The treatment of genital warts depends very much on the individual findings, but is usually carried out with a laser.

Dell warts

Far more harmless and predominantly found in children are the molluscs, also called dell warts or swimming pool warts. These small spherical warts are very contagious and should therefore be removed completely if they do not heal on their own within a short time.

Molluscum contagiosum is primarily iced. In difficult cases, laser treatment can provide a remedy.

Over-the-counter tinctures, plasters or similar are usually not very effective as they irritate the surrounding skin too much. Complete and painless removal of the molluscs is possible after pre-treatment of the affected skin areas with an anaesthetic ointment, which must be applied under a plaster one hour before treatment.
