While over-the-counter treatments may work for small skin growths, seeing a qualified healthcare professional is the safest and most effective way to address skin concerns such as warts.

Cryotherapy Treatment
Cryotherapy is a treatment method that utilises extremely cold temperatures to freeze and destroy unwanted wart tissue. During cryotherapy for wart removal, liquid nitrogen is typically used as the freezing agent, with a temperature around -196°C (-320°F).
The cryotherapy process triggers the body’s natural immune response, causing the frozen wart tissue to die and eventually fall off within a few weeks. This treatment is effective for common warts on hands, plantar warts on feet, and finger warts, with quick procedure times and minimal downtime.
Surgical Excision
For stubborn warts or larger warts that haven’t responded to other treatments, surgical excision involves cutting or scraping away the wart under local anaesthetic, often as a one-time treatment. This surgical removal method offers the lowest recurrence rates of all treatments – typically around 10-15%.
Dr Bik and Dr Rinku perform surgical excision with precision techniques that protect surrounding healthy skin cells while completely removing all wart virus-affected tissue.
Advanced Treatment Options
For resistant warts or patients with a weakened immune system, we offer specialist treatments including:
- Custom treatment plans based on wart type, location, and your medical history
- Options for multiple wart removal in a single session
- Combined therapies for the most suitable treatment approach
Wart Removal Process
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Dr Bik or Dr Rinku assess your warts and complete medical history during your initial consultation. This includes wart type identification, whether you have common warts, flat warts, filiform warts, periungual warts, or plantar warts and a discussion of the most suitable treatment options.
Seborrheic warts, unlike other types, are not caused by the human papillomavirus and are essentially thick, rough-surfaced buildups of skin cells often associated with ageing. Our doctors can differentiate between wart types to determine the most appropriate treatment.
Step 2: Treatment Planning
We create a customised treatment plan based on your specific wart characteristics, including size, location, and how long you’ve had them. You’ll receive:
- Pre-treatment instructions and preparation guidelines
- Clear cost breakdown
- Appointment scheduling that fits your availability
Step 3: Professional Treatment
Your wart removal procedure is performed by experienced doctors using sterile equipment and proper medical protocols. Local anaesthetic is applied for patient comfort during treatment, ensuring the procedure is typically quick with minimal discomfort.
The treated area is carefully monitored throughout, and our doctors use the latest technology to ensure effective solution with the least impact on surrounding skin.
Step 4: Aftercare Support
Proper post treatment care is essential for the healing process. You’ll receive:
- Detailed aftercare instructions to protect the affected area
- Follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress if needed
- Ongoing support and advice for the prevention of future warts
- Guidance on hygiene practices to avoid spreading the wart virus

FAQs
How much does wart removal cost in Birmingham?
Prices for wart removal start from £299.
Is wart removal painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during wart removal procedures. Local anaesthetic is applied for surgical excision and more intensive treatments, ensuring patient comfort throughout the medical procedure. Cryotherapy may cause a brief stinging sensation, while the treated area may feel tender for several weeks during the healing process.
How long does wart removal take?
Cryotherapy: Typically quick, around 10-15 minutes per session, with sessions spaced a few weeks apart
Surgical Excision: Usually 20-30 minutes as a one-time procedure
Will my warts come back after removal?
Recurrence rates depend on the treatment method used. Surgical excision offers the lowest recurrence rates at approximately 10-15%. Cryotherapy recurrence rates range from 13-25% depending on treatment interval.
Dr Bik and Dr Rinku provide thorough prevention strategies, including guidance on avoiding direct contact transmission and maintaining good hygiene. Follow-up appointments help monitor for any signs of recurrence, with additional treatment available if needed.
Patients with a weakened immune system may have higher recurrence rates and benefit from immunotherapy approaches that address the underlying wart virus.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can self-refer directly to The Doctors Practice without needing to see your GP first. Simply book an appointment online or call our reception. If you do have a GP referral letter, bring it along, but it’s not required for us to see you.
Will I need stitches?
For most small to medium warts, stitches are not required. The wound left after removal is typically small enough to heal naturally, often with just a dressing or steri-strip to protect it during the initial healing process. Larger warts or those removed by surgical excision may occasionally benefit from a simple closure, but your doctor will discuss this with you beforehand if it applies to your situation.
Can I drive home afterwards?
Yes, most patients can drive themselves home and return to work immediately after their appointment. The local anaesthetic affects only a small area of skin and does not impair your ability to drive or concentrate. The only exception might be if your warts are located close to the eyes or eyelids.
