Warts are a common skin condition that, while usually harmless, can be unsightly and sometimes painful. At Village Pharmacy, we offer effective wart removal services to help you achieve smooth, wart-free skin.
Understanding Warts
Warts are small, grainy skin growths that often appear on the hands, feet, and other areas. They can spread through direct contact or via contaminated surfaces.
Our Wart Removal Services
Cryotherapy
This method involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen, causing it to fall off over time. It’s a quick and effective treatment for most warts.
Salicylic Acid Treatments
Topical treatments with salicylic acid can help dissolve the wart over several weeks. We offer professional-grade treatments that are more potent than over-the-counter options.
Laser Treatment
For stubborn warts, laser therapy can be an effective solution. It uses focused light to destroy the wart tissue.

Comprehensive Wart Removal Insights
What Causes Warts?
Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). This virus enters the body through tiny cuts or abrasions on the skin. There are different types of warts, including common warts, plantar warts (on the soles of the feet), and flat warts. Understanding the type of wart is crucial for determining the best treatment approach.
Prevention Tips
To prevent warts, avoid direct contact with warts, keep your skin clean and dry, and avoid walking barefoot in public places like showers or pools. It’s also important not to share personal items like towels or razors with someone who has warts.
Home Remedies vs. Professional Treatment
While there are various home remedies available, such as duct tape occlusion therapy and over-the-counter treatments, they often require consistent application and may take longer to show results. Professional treatments, like those offered at Village Pharmacy, are more potent and can achieve results more quickly.
Detailed Treatment Options
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is effective for most types of warts and involves a brief application of liquid nitrogen. The procedure may need to be repeated several times for best results. Patients might experience a slight discomfort during the process, but it’s generally well-tolerated.
Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid works by peeling away the infected skin over time. Professional-grade salicylic acid treatments available at Village Pharmacy are stronger than those you can buy over the counter, which means they can work more effectively and quickly. Regular application as advised by our healthcare professionals is crucial for success.
Laser Treatment
Laser treatment is an advanced option that uses intense light to burn and destroy wart tissue. This method is particularly useful for warts that have not responded to other treatments. It’s a precise method that can target the wart without damaging surrounding skin.
