What Are Warts?
Warts are non-cancerous skin growths caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear anywhere on the body and come in many forms. While most warts are harmless, they can be unsightly, uncomfortable, and in the case of genital warts, highly contagious. At our Kathmandu clinic, we offer comprehensive wart removal and treatment for all types of warts using the latest medical techniques.
HPV infects the top layer of skin, causing rapid cell growth that results in a wart. The virus is spread through direct contact with an infected person or contaminated surfaces. Some people are more prone to warts due to weakened immune systems, while others may develop immunity over time. Understanding the type of wart you have is essential for choosing the right treatment.
In Nepal, warts are a common dermatological concern. Many people try home remedies like applying lime (chuna), vinegar, or cutting warts themselves, which can lead to infection, scarring, and spread of the virus. Professional medical treatment is always the safest and most effective approach.
Types of Warts We Treat
There are several distinct types of warts, each with unique characteristics. Our clinic treats all of them:
Rough, raised bumps typically found on fingers, hands, knees, and elbows. They have a cauliflower-like appearance with tiny black dots (clotted blood vessels). Common warts are most frequent in children and young adults.
Hard, grainy growths on the soles of the feet. They grow inward due to pressure from walking and can be quite painful, often feeling like a stone in your shoe. Plantar warts may have small black dots and can occur singly or in clusters (mosaic warts).
Small, smooth, flat-topped yellowish or flesh-colored bumps. They often appear in large numbers — 20 to 100 at a time — on the face, neck, hands, wrists, and forearms. Flat warts are more common in children and can spread rapidly through shaving.
Long, thin, finger-like projections that often grow on the face — around the mouth, eyes, and nose. They are flesh-colored and can grow quickly. Filiform warts are typically painless but can be bothersome cosmetically.
Warts that form around and under fingernails and toenails. They can be difficult to treat and may cause nail deformity or damage if left untreated. These warts can crack the skin and lead to secondary infections.
Soft, flesh-colored growths on the genital area, including the penis, vagina, vulva, cervix, anus, and surrounding skin. They are sexually transmitted and highly contagious. Genital warts require specialist treatment and should never be treated with over-the-counter remedies.
Symptoms & Identification
Warts are usually easy to identify by their appearance. Common symptoms include:
- Small, fleshy, grainy bumps on the skin
- Rough texture (cauliflower-like appearance)
- Flesh-colored, white, pink, or tan coloring
- Tiny black dots (clotted blood vessels) inside
- Pain or tenderness (especially plantar warts)
- Clusters of warts (mosaic warts)
- Itching or irritation in the affected area
- Bleeding when warts are scratched or bumped
- Rapid growth or spread to nearby skin
- Changes in nail shape (periungual warts)
- Pain during walking or standing (plantar warts)
- Discomfort during intercourse (genital warts)
Wart Removal Treatment Options
At our clinic we offer three advanced wart removal methods. The choice of treatment depends on the type, size, location, and number of warts. Our doctors will recommend the most suitable option during consultation.
Rs. 2,500 - 4,500 per session
Liquid nitrogen at -196°C is applied to freeze the wart tissue. The wart blisters, darkens, and falls off within 1-3 weeks. Cryotherapy is effective for common warts, plantar warts, and flat warts.
- Quick procedure (5-10 minutes)
- Minimal scarring
- Affordable pricing
- 2-4 sessions typically needed
- Suitable for most wart types
Rs. 4,000 - 8,000 per session
An electric current is used to burn off the wart tissue under local anesthesia. This method is fast and highly effective for larger warts, filiform warts, and resistant warts.
- Single session often sufficient
- Local anesthesia ensures comfort
- High precision application
- Effective for large warts
- Fast recovery (1-2 weeks)
Rs. 8,000 - 15,000 per session
CO2 laser precisely vaporizes wart tissue layer by layer with minimal damage to surrounding skin. Ideal for genital warts, periungual warts, and warts in sensitive areas.

DANGER: Do Not Attempt Home Removal
Prevention Tips
Avoid Direct Contact
Do not touch warts on yourself or others. HPV spreads through skin-to-skin contact.
Keep Skin Healthy
Healthy, intact skin is more resistant to HPV infection. Moisturize dry or cracked skin.
Don't Share Items
Avoid sharing towels, razors, nail clippers, socks, or shoes with someone who has warts.
Wear Footwear
Wear flip-flops or water shoes in public showers, locker rooms, and pool areas to prevent plantar warts.
Boost Immunity
A strong immune system can fight off HPV. Eat well, exercise, sleep adequately, and manage stress.
HPV Vaccination
The Gardasil 9 vaccine protects against HPV types that cause genital warts and certain cancers. Available for men and women up to age 45.
Treat Early
Early treatment prevents warts from spreading to other areas of your body and to other people.
Safe Sex Practices
Use condoms consistently to reduce the risk of genital HPV transmission, though condoms do not provide complete protection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Warts
Are warts contagious?
Yes, warts are highly contagious. HPV spreads through direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or contaminated surfaces. You can also spread warts from one part of your body to another (auto-inoculation). Avoid touching warts and wash your hands thoroughly after any contact.
Can warts go away on their own?
Some warts may resolve spontaneously over months or years as the immune system clears the virus. However, this is unpredictable and warts can multiply or spread in the meantime. Treatment is recommended to prevent spread and reduce discomfort.
Is wart removal painful?
Cryotherapy causes a brief stinging sensation. Electrocautery and laser removal are performed under local anesthesia so you feel no pain during the procedure. Some soreness after treatment is normal and managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How many sessions are needed?
Cryotherapy typically requires 2-4 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart. Electrocautery and laser removal often achieve complete clearance in 1-2 sessions. The exact number depends on the size, number, and type of warts.
Can warts come back after removal?
Yes, recurrence is possible because HPV can remain dormant in surrounding skin even after visible warts are removed. Recurrence rates are 10-20% depending on the treatment method and individual immune response. Boosting immunity and HPV vaccination can reduce recurrence.
What is the cost of wart removal in Nepal?
Cryotherapy starts from Rs. 2,500 per session. Electrocautery ranges from Rs. 4,000 to Rs. 8,000. Laser removal ranges from Rs. 8,000 to Rs. 15,000. Consultation fee is Rs. 450. Package discounts are available for multiple warts.
How can I prevent warts from spreading?
Avoid touching warts, wash hands frequently, keep warts covered with bandages, do not share personal items (towels, razors, nail clippers), wear footwear in public showers, and avoid picking or scratching warts.
Is HPV vaccination necessary after wart removal?
HPV vaccination (Gardasil 9) is highly recommended after wart removal as it protects against future infection from HPV types 6 and 11 (which cause 90% of genital warts) as well as high-risk HPV types that cause cancer. Vaccination reduces recurrence risk by 70-80%.
Can I have sex after genital wart removal?
You should avoid sexual activity for at least 3-6 weeks after genital wart removal to allow complete healing. After healing, use condoms consistently to reduce transmission risk, though condoms do not provide 100% protection against HPV.
Are there any side effects of wart removal?
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, mild pain, blistering (cryotherapy), and scabbing. Serious side effects are rare when performed by an experienced doctor. Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation may occur, especially in darker skin types.
