The site of destruction hurts after removal of a wart - this is the most common complaint among dermatologist patients who have undergone the procedure of aggressive removal of pathogenic growths caused by the human papillomavirus. It should be noted that the feeling of pain and discomfort in the postoperative period is an acceptable natural reaction of the body. Time must pass so that after removing the wart, the site of destruction stops hurting and the wound heals completely. However, in some cases, prolonged pain is indeed an indicator of postoperative complications. In order to identify the pathological process in time, the patient should understand how healing proceeds within normal limits, and when it is better to consult a doctor.
Why do warts appear?
Warts are caused by infection with a virus that causes warts.
| Only skin cells (palms, soles, less often the face, body) become infected and warts appear in these places in groups or individually. The virus is transmitted through household contact with sick people or through common objects (swimming pools, bathhouses, locker rooms). Infection is also facilitated by a weakened immune system, the presence of wounds, scratches, and cracks. |
Do warts need to be removed?
Warts are removed not only for aesthetic purposes, but also to a greater extent as a treatment measure: removing warts prevents their reproduction (in the case of warts on the face and body).
Removing plantar warts, in addition, prevents an increase in size and the acquisition of an ugly, “blooming” appearance, and a high likelihood of pain when walking. Periungual warts can deform the nail plate and lead to its detachment.

Warts should be removed as soon as they appear - this will make the laser removal procedure less painful, faster, cheaper and the healing process will be easier.
Wound treatment after wart removal
Any manipulations to care for the wound should be carried out according to the doctor’s recommendations, with strict adherence to the frequency of application of the products and the treatment method.
After removing a wart, the following are recommended for treating the wound:
- Calendula tincture or sea buckthorn oil have antiseptic properties and stimulate tissue regeneration. One bottle of the product costs from 47 rubles in Russia and from 6 hryvnia in Ukraine.
- Chlorhexidine is an antimicrobial antiseptic that costs only 15 rubles, 9 hryvnia, and is applied to the surface of the skin around the wound. It is also prohibited to apply the drug to the mucous membrane.
After treating the destruction site, it is necessary to apply a dry bandage and ensure rest of the part of the body on which the wart was removed.
Important! It is prohibited to wash the wound with alcohol-based solutions. Such compositions can lead to protein coagulation, burns and tissue inflammation. Improper manipulation of the wound can cause the area to hurt for a long time after the wart is removed.
If the wound hurts after removing a wart, but the doctor has not found the cause of such pain, this manifestation is probably an individual characteristic of the body, a reaction to the intervention. In this case, it is recommended to use special wound healing agents to quickly forget about the unpleasant procedure:
- Bepanten for treating small wounds. In Russia, the product costs 429 rubles for 30 g of 5% ointment, and in Ukraine - 117 hryvnia; it can be replaced by analogues Heppiderm, Pantekrem, Depantol.
- Levomekol for cases when pus has already formed, costs only 108 rubles, 14 hryvnia, is used for no more than 4 days in a row, then wound-healing ointments are used.
- Solcoseryl or its analogs Actovegil, Alantan are used at the last stage of wound healing. The drug costs 424 rubles, 183 hryvnia.
Important! Exceeding the permissible doses when treating wounds can lead to sensitization of the skin area and, as a result, pain after removing a wart, which is why the daily dose of pharmaceutical drugs when treating wounds should not exceed the norm specified in the instructions.
How to get rid of warts in 15 minutes?
At the Gradient clinic, qualified dermato-oncologist surgeons will carefully examine the formations, determine their type and how to solve your situation. Warts can be removed on the same day of treatment - the procedure is comfortable and painless, using local anesthesia.
After removal, the doctor will recommend care for speedy healing. If necessary, antiviral treatment will also be prescribed. If there is any doubt about the benign quality of the formation, the removed sample will be sent for histology. You can be sure that the procedure is safe!
The most modern and effective solution to the problem of warts is laser removal using a CO2 laser.
Benefits of laser wart removal:
- The device does not come into contact with the patient’s skin; it acts with a beam. Complete asepsis is achieved, the wound does not bleed;
- Removal of warts is achieved with a single radical procedure;
- Precise selection of laser beam parameters allows precise action at the wart-healthy skin interface;
- Healthy skin tissue around the wart is not damaged (there are no unreasonably large marks after removal);
- Rapid tissue regeneration after the removal procedure, the wound heals quickly.
- Painless. Preliminary anesthesia allows you to completely avoid pain;
Why does the wart removal site hurt?
If after removing a wart the wound hurts for a long time, there is indeed a reason to consult a doctor. This condition may indicate the development of a number of complications.
The causes of pain at the site of destruction are:
- incomplete removal of the formation, recurrence of wart development;
- too deep exposure to the aggressive composition, which resulted in disruption of the deep layers;
- systematic mechanical impact on the wound (contact with clothing, pressure when walking, etc.);
- improper wound care, prolonged healing;
- infection of the wound followed by suppuration.
If the wound hurts after removing a wart, it is also necessary to exclude processes of tissue malignancy, that is, degeneration into a malignant formation. Only a doctor can identify the true cause of pain.
Note! Even after the scab has gone away, after removing the wart, this place may hurt; the cause, as a rule, is exposure to aggressive chemical compounds on the delicate areas of the skin. Even cosmetics can be an irritant. Therefore, until the skin is completely restored, it is recommended to cover the operated areas when working with household chemicals.
How much does wart removal cost?
The cost of laser removal of warts depends on their number, size and location (on the face, eyelids, hands, plantar and periungual warts). Based on these parameters, the surgeon will determine the exact cost before performing the procedure. Prices are also shown in the price list at the bottom of the page.

Thank you again for your professionalism and humanity! |
