Warts (Cauliflower-like lumps) that may be caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV).– Wart Removal Singapore

What are warts? – Wart Removal Singapore

Warts can be characterized by Cauliflower-like lumps. One of the most common causes of warts is by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). There are different strains of HPV. Generally, the virus causes an infection when it enters the body via a cut in the skin. It then results in cell growth, which in turn results in thickening and hardening of the skin. The end result is typically a raised wart. Warts are very contagious and can spread easily and quickly. They are spread primarily (from one person to another, or one part of the body to another) through:

  • physical skin contact
  • contact with a contaminated surface
  • sexual intimacy (causing genital warts)
  • biting of nails
  • shaving without good hygiene practice

Is there any way to test if I have warts caused by HPV?

Currently, there is no available test in Singapore that would test for the presence of HPV strains that cause warts.

What are the warts removal or warts treatment options available?

In Singapore, there are several wart removal or wart treatment options for genital warts or warts in general:

Cryotherapy For Wart Removal

This is the use of very low temperatures (<-89°C) to freeze the wart by a doctor. Generally, the low temperature is achieved using liquid nitrogen. You may experience some discomfort or pain. If successful, the wart will fall off over the next few days.  – Wart Removal Singapore

Imiquimod Cream For Wart Removal

This is an active immune enhancer that stimulates production of interferon and other cytokines. This is generally applied daily at night. You will need to wash off the cream the following morning. There may be some local irritation/ redness or some discoloration of the skin after using the cream.

Electrocautery For Wart Removal

This treatment essentially burns off the wart. Thus the effect is immediate. Local anesthetic is applied/ injected into the area to decrease pain before the procedure. – Wart Removal Singapore

Other surgical treatments such as CO2 Lasers are usually reserved for removal of larger warts. Some minor bleeding may be expected during such wart removal procedures. – Wart Removal Singapore

For genital warts, will they recur? Is there a vaccination available for genital wart prevention?

Generally, for many people, genital warts will recur even after successful treatment.

Gardasil 9 vaccine is available to prevent genital warts as well as cervical/ anal/ penile cancers caused by certain strains of HPV. It requires 3 doses. Speak to your doctor if you like to find out more about the vaccine.
