Periungual Wart Removal

Periungual Wart Removal in London

At London Wart Clinic in central London, we specialise in the expert removal of periungual warts using advanced surgical techniques. Our comprehensive treatment ensures effective results with minimal discomfort, helping you maintain healthy and aesthetically pleasing nails.

Periungual warts are warts that form around the fingernails and toenails, often causing discomfort and potential damage to the nail. These warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can interfere with nail growth. Diagnosis involves a thorough examination by our specialists, who may also perform a biopsy to confirm the wart type.

Symptoms:

  • Raised, rough growths: Located around the nail beds.
  • Thickened skin: The area around the wart may become thick and rough.
  • Pain or tenderness: Especially when pressure is applied to the affected area.
  • Nail changes: Potential deformation or detachment of the nail.
  • Size: Can vary from small to large, affecting the nail’s appearance and function.
  • Multiple warts: Often appear in clusters around the nails.

At London Wart Clinic, we provide detailed surgical removal and electrosurgery for periungual 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, especially around the sensitive nail bed.
  • 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 around the nails, ensuring precise removal with minimal damage to the surrounding skin and nail structure.

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 protect the nail bed during healing. Attend follow-up appointments as scheduled to ensure optimal recovery and address any concerns. Avoid using nail polish or other nail treatments until fully healed to prevent irritation and promote natural recovery.

Types of Removals

Fingernail wart removal targets warts around and under the nails, using precise techniques to prevent nail damage. This ensures healthy nail growth and reduces the risk of recurrence.
