Warts &
Molluscum

Stubborn warts on hands, feet, or face — molluscum spreading in children or adults — viral skin growths that won't resolve on their own. We select the right removal technique for each type, location, and patient to achieve clearance with minimal scarring.

All Viral Skin Growths
Diagnosed & Cleared

From plantar warts to facial molluscum — we choose the safest, most effective removal method based on type, location, and age of the patient.

Common warts on hands
Cryotherapy / Electrocautery

Common Warts (Verruca Vulgaris)

Rough, raised growths on hands and fingers caused by HPV. Treated with liquid nitrogen cryotherapy (2–3 sessions) or electrocautery for larger isolated warts. Recurrence prevented by boosting local immunity.

2–4 sessions₹800+
Plantar wart verruca
Cryo + Salicylic Acid

Plantar Warts (Verruca Plantaris)

Deep, painful warts on the soles of the feet — often with black dots (thrombosed capillaries). Combined cryotherapy and keratolytic treatment achieves clearance without creating painful scars that interfere with walking.

3–6 sessions₹1,000+
Flat warts face diagnosis
Light Cryo / Topical Tretinoin

Flat Warts (Verruca Plana)

Small, smooth, flat-topped warts on the face, forehead, and backs of hands — especially common in teenagers. Light cryotherapy or topical tretinoin avoids pigmentation change on darker skin types.

4–6 sessions₹700+
Molluscum contagiosum children
Extraction / Cantharidin

Molluscum Contagiosum

Pearly, umbilicated papules caused by a poxvirus — highly contagious, especially in children with eczema. We use gentle extraction, cantharidin application, or imiquimod depending on age, number, and location.

1–3 sessions₹700+
Filiform wart face and neck removal
Electrocautery / Snip Excision

Filiform & Periungual Warts

Thread-like warts on the face, neck, and eyelids — or warts around the nails making clipping painful. Precise electrocautery or snip excision removes them cleanly in a single session without damage to surrounding skin.

1–2 sessions₹900+
Genital wart condyloma treatment
Podophyllin / Trichloroacetic Acid

Genital Warts (Condylomata Acuminata)

HPV-related warts in the anogenital region — require confidential, sensitive management. We offer topical podophyllin, TCA, or electrocautery with counselling on transmission, recurrence, and HPV vaccination.

Treatment Process

Precise Removal,
Minimal Recurrence

1

Clinical Diagnosis

Most warts and molluscum are diagnosed clinically. Dermoscopy confirms atypical presentations and distinguishes warts from seborrhoeic keratoses, corns, or other mimics that require different management.

2

Treatment Selection

We select cryotherapy, electrocautery, chemical destruction (salicylic acid, TCA, cantharidin), or simple extraction based on wart type, location, skin type, patient age, and pain tolerance.

3

Procedure & Aftercare

Cryotherapy takes 30–60 seconds per lesion. Electrocautery is performed after local anaesthetic. You'll receive aftercare instructions — keep the area dry, avoid picking, apply antibiotic ointment if blistered.

4

Review & Repeat if Needed

Most warts require 2–4 treatment sessions at 2–3 week intervals. We review response between sessions and adjust the method if the first approach shows insufficient effect.

5

Immunity Boosting Strategy

For widespread or recurrent warts, we add immunomodulators (imiquimod, intralesional immunotherapy with Candida antigen) to stimulate the patient's own immune response against HPV.

Why Supreme Elite Clinic

Right Method,
Right Result First Time

Generic pharmacy treatments fail because they don't distinguish between wart types. We do — and choose the technique that works fastest for each specific case.

Cryotherapy On-Site

Liquid nitrogen cryotherapy available in-clinic — no waiting for referrals. Multiple lesions treated in a single session.

Dermoscopy-Guided Selection

Dermoscopy before every procedure ensures accurate diagnosis and the right treatment choice — preventing unnecessary procedures on lesions that aren't warts.

Child-Friendly Approach

Molluscum in children managed with the least uncomfortable techniques first — topical options before any invasive procedure, with parent counselling on spread prevention.

Confidential Genital Wart Care

Sensitive, private consultation for anogenital warts — with full counselling on HPV, partner notification, and vaccination options.

Treatment Methods

Four Techniques,
One Chosen for You

Liquid Nitrogen Cryotherapy

Precisely applied to freeze and destroy wart tissue at −196°C. The gold standard for common, plantar, and filiform warts. Takes 30–60 seconds per lesion, with a blister forming and clearing over 1–2 weeks.

Most Wart Types

Electrocautery

After local anaesthetic, a fine electrical current destroys wart tissue completely. Ideal for large single warts, filiform warts, and periungual warts where complete removal in one session is preferred.

Large / Single Warts

Chemical Destruction

Salicylic acid for plantar warts, trichloroacetic acid for genital warts, cantharidin for molluscum and warts in children — office-applied chemicals that cause blister formation and targeted wart removal.

Chemical Agents

Immunotherapy

Imiquimod cream stimulates local interferon response against HPV. Intralesional Candida antigen injections provoke a systemic immune response effective even against distant warts not directly injected.

Recurrent / Multiple
Common Questions

Wart & Molluscum FAQs

Cryotherapy causes a stinging, burning sensation during and for a few minutes after the freeze. Most adults tolerate it well. For children or sensitive areas, we use topical anaesthetic cream applied 45 minutes before the procedure. A blister forms within 24 hours and heals in 1–2 weeks.
Warts are caused by HPV, which evades the immune system by staying in the superficial skin layers. In children with robust immunity, 65% resolve within 2 years without treatment. In adults, immune evasion is more effective and warts often persist or spread unless actively treated.
Common warts typically clear in 2–4 cryotherapy sessions at 2–3 week intervals. Plantar warts may need 4–6 sessions due to their depth. Molluscum often clears in 1–3 sessions. Filiform warts can often be removed in a single electrocautery session.
Recurrence is possible because HPV can remain latent in surrounding skin. We address this with immunomodulatory strategies for recurrent cases and provide hygiene counselling to reduce reinfection risk. HPV vaccination (Gardasil) reduces the risk of new wart types.
Molluscum contagiosum is benign and self-limiting — most cases in healthy children resolve within 6–18 months without treatment. However, it spreads easily through skin contact and shared towels, and can become extensive in children with eczema or immunosuppression, where treatment is advisable.
