What Are Warts?
Warts are benign skin growths caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). While harmless for most people, they can sometimes be uncomfortable or painful. There are over 100 subtypes of HPV, meaning warts can vary in appearance. They may look flat, skin-coloured, brown, black, or grey and can sometimes have tiny black dots or appear threadlike. Their texture ranges from rough to smooth.
What Causes Warts?
Warts develop when HPV enters the skin through small cuts or breaks and triggers excess skin cell growth. This leads to thickened, hardened skin in the affected area.

Your Questions Answered
What’s the difference between a wart and a verruca?
Warts are raised skin lumps caused by a viral infection, while verrucas are a specific type of wart that typically appears on the soles of the feet.
Is wart removal painful?
CryoPen treatment is quick and relatively painless. The ultra-cold jet of high-pressure N₂O freezes the wart, destroying it at the cellular level. While you may feel a mild pinching sensation, discomfort is minimal.
How can I prevent a wart from reoccurring in the future?
Because HPV spreads easily, preventing warts can be challenging. To reduce the risk of recurrence, we recommend: Avoiding direct contact with warts (your own or someone else’s). Not sharing personal items like towels, razors, or nail clippers. Keeping skin clean and covering any cuts or open wounds. Washing hands frequently to minimise virus spread. Avoiding nail-biting, as this can introduce HPV into the skin.
