Assessment before removal
Warts and other skin lesions.
Not every raised or changing skin lesion is a wart. A clinical assessment confirms what the lesion is and whether treatment, monitoring or further investigation is appropriate.
Specialist consultation
Assessment guides the next step.
Your dermatologist will examine the area, discuss how long it has been present and consider any changes, symptoms or previous treatment.
If removal is appropriate, the method and appointment time depend on the diagnosis, number, size and location of the lesions.
A quieter setting for careful assessment, clear advice and a practical treatment plan.
What to know
Confirm the lesion before choosing treatment.
Warts are caused by a virus and may persist or recur. Other benign or concerning lesions can resemble a wart, so examination is especially important when a growth is changing, bleeding, painful or not responding to treatment.
Common questions
Answers to common questions.
Can a wart return after treatment?
Yes. No treatment guarantees that a wart will not recur, and more than one treatment may be needed.
Can reception book removal immediately?
The diagnosis and likely procedure need to be clear first. Reception will arrange the appropriate consultation or procedure time.
