WARTS AND SKIN GROWTHS: EXPERT DIAGNOSIS AND MODERN TREATMENT AT MYSKIN MALLORCA

Warts are highly contagious and generally considered unsightly, but they are usually harmless and do not require treatment. They can take various forms and are typically caused by viruses (HPV). Warts often heal on their own, but this process can take weeks, months, or even years. During this time, there is a risk that the warts may spread or be transmitted to others.

At mySkin Mallorca, we offer a modern laser treatment (Nd YAG7 Nordlys) to remove warts quickly and painlessly. In most cases, only a single treatment is required, which can be repeated if necessary.

COMMON CAUSES OF WARTS:

Infections

Viral infections, especially in moist environments such as saunas or swimming pools, can lead to the development of warts.

Age-related Factors

Warts can also occur independently of viral load as people age.

ADVANTAGES OF LASER TREATMENT:

Gentle Treatment Method

Compared to cryotherapy, laser treatment generally takes less time, spares surrounding tissue, and allows for quicker recovery.

No Downtime The targeted

laser treatment does not affect the surrounding skin and typically leaves no residues such as bruises or scars.

FAQS ABOUT WARTS:

Can Warts be Removed Without Leaving a Trace?

Yes, warts can be completely and scarlessly removed using the laser method.

The number of treatments varies individually. Some patients require regular sessions, approximately 4-6 treatments per year, to ensure long-term results.

The duration depends on the size and number of warts.

HANDLING SKIN GROWTHS: EXPERT DIAGNOSIS AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT

It is advisable to have skin growths professionally evaluated and diagnosed by a dermatologist. A skin check allows the doctor to identify suspicious skin changes. If anomalies are detected, a histological examination is initiated to provide an accurate diagnosis.

Benign skin changes can arise from various skin and subcutaneous structures, including blood vessels, pigment cells, sebaceous and sweat glands, as well as fat and connective tissue. If these changes are bothersome to the patient for aesthetic or functional reasons, they can be removed through surgical procedures or laser surgery.

Benign Skin Changes That Can Be Treated with Laser Include:

Viral Warts:

  • Molluscum contagiosum
  • Genital warts
  • Plantar warts

Non-contagious Warts:

  • Fibromas (skin tags)
  • Seborrheic keratoses

Other benign growths, such as soft moles (dermal nevi), can also be treated with a laser.

Note: Cysts and lipomas are usually treated surgically to ensure effective removal. The decision on the optimal treatment option depends on the type of skin growth and its individual characteristics.
