They usually use liquid nitrogen to freeze it off. I’ve had this done, and it’s mostly pain free. Feels kind of like a pinching sensation.
I got a wart removed from my hand by my doctor, I’m not sure how different a dermatologist’s procedure would be, but from what I’ve been told, there are two ways to remove it- you can have it frozen off with liquid nitrogen, or burned off with a laser. I chose to get mine burned off, because it was only one session, where as freezing can take multiple sessions to eradicate the wart. With burning it off, you get a shot of novicaine, and then your doc will take a laser and pass it over a couple times, and you’re done. Really, the whole procedure takes less than 10 minutes, tops. It doesn’t hurt too bad, and only hurt for maybe the first few hours after the numbness wore off, which was fixed with some ibproferen. I’m not sure exactly what happens with the freezing process, but I’d recommend getting it burned off, since it’s fast and simple. As for effecting your walking, that’s hard to say, it will depend on the shoes you wear, and where on your foot the wart is located.
You know, having a dermatologist remove a wart is a bit of overpaid, overkill. The dermatologist and a regular doctor will use the same exact methods as a rule. Most of them use liquid nitrogen to freeze them off. The process does feel like it’s burning for a moment, but the pain is not that bad and you will survive it quite well. Afterward, depending on how deeply the tissue was frozen, it may make a blister come up. You might need to wear open shoes or flip flops for a few days until it goes down. Of course, this depends on where exactly on the foot the wart is located, too. Unless you just really want to see the dermatologist, a regular doctor can do the same exact thing, and with the same results. It may also take several treatments to completely remove the wart as well, depending on how big it is and the location. So far as pain, it’s nothing you can’t survive, and you won’t need pain medicine afterward at all.
if you really want to remove warts forever then you should know that you can remove warts by surgery, freezing, laser, acid or with cream but warts can reappear again and again because warts appears when your immune system is weak! so you must build up your immune system because your body can get rid of warts by itself if your immune system will be strong! so eat more healthy food, more vitamins and more sport activities!
(No smoking, no beer/ale, no booze, no drugs, no junk food, no fast food garbage, no sugary sweet soda’s. Get on a good, balanced, healthy diet including plenty of boiled or steamed vegetables. Drink P L E N T Y O F W A T E R , fruit juices & fat free milk. Snack on lots of RAW fruit & veggies. Get up one hour early every morning & take a BRISK 30 minute walk – then – do the same thing again in the evening after dinner. Make sure you eat a good, balanced breakfast daily. You get your energy for the day from your breakfast meal. Get 8 hours sleep each night. Flip your mattress over so it will level out to give you a good night’s rest. Slack off too much coffee & tea.)
HPV is the virus that causes warts. And HPV virus has many strains. In your case you have HPV virus strain number 2. People can be infected with HPV and never show any symptoms. Others will develop warts. These warts can stay the same size, grow, or go away on their own. It depends on the infected person’s immune system. A healthy immune system means your body may be able to suppress the virus and not show symptoms.
also you should use some herbal treatment!
in that case Wartrol is a good (probably the best) product that gets rid of warts comparatively fast and makes you feel more confident knowing that they wont reappear again! it says that it is designed for Genital Warts but
it does not matter because warts are warts and wartrol works by stimulating your immune system to fight the HPV virus that causes the warts. of course it is better if you use full course (5 months – if I remember correctly).
It worked and still works for me!
I do not know if any pharmacies carry Wartrol but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.wartrol.com/?aid=749165
The advantage of Wartrol over other natural treatments for warts is that, since it is taken orally, it can also act on invisible warts that can’t be treated by other creams and natural remedies.
good luck!
