Filiform warts are long, narrow growths that commonly appear on the face, neck, and around the eyes. Caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), these warts are often flesh-coloured and can be easily irritated. Diagnosis involves a thorough examination by our specialists, who may also conduct a skin biopsy to confirm the wart type.
Symptoms:
- Long, narrow growths: Often with a thread-like or finger-like appearance.
- Colour: Flesh-coloured, blending with the surrounding skin.
- Location: Commonly found on the face, neck, and around the eyes.
- Texture: Smooth and often soft to the touch.
- Number: Can appear singly or in small groups.
- Irritation: May become irritated easily, especially in areas prone to friction.
At London Wart Clinic, we provide detailed surgical removal and electrosurgery for filiform warts. These methods ensure thorough eradication of the wart and underlying virus.
- Surgical Removal: This procedure involves carefully excising the wart with a scalpel under local anaesthesia, ensuring minimal pain. The area may be stitched to aid in healing and reduce scarring.
- Electrosurgery: This technique uses a high-frequency electrical current to remove the wart tissue. After numbing the area with local anaesthesia, an electric needle is used to cut away the wart. This method is particularly effective for warts on sensitive areas like the face and around the eyes, ensuring precise removal with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.

We provide free aftercare to ensure a smooth recovery process. After treatment, keep the treated area clean and dry, avoid picking at the site, and follow specific instructions provided by your surgeon. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to regular activities shortly after the procedure. Our team is available for any follow-up care needed to monitor healing and prevent recurrence. Apply prescribed topical antibiotics to prevent infection and avoid direct sunlight on the treated area to prevent pigmentation changes. Attend follow-up appointments as scheduled to ensure optimal recovery and address any concerns.
