What to Expect

What to Expect: Our Treatment Approach

Your journey to wart-free feet at our Singapore clinic starts with a thorough assessment.

  1. Consultation & Diagnosis: Our podiatrist will examine the lesion, confirm it’s a plantar wart, and discuss your history.
  2. Personalised Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, we will recommend the most suitable approach. Our primary methods include:
      • Cryotherapy: This involves the controlled application of liquid nitrogen (extreme cold) directly onto the wart. The freezing temperature destroys the wart cells containing the HPV virus. You may feel a temporary stinging sensation during application.
      • Chemical Application: We use specific, carefully selected topical agents applied precisely to the wart tissue in-clinic. These agents work by breaking down the infected skin cells over time, prompting the body’s immune response.
  3. Progress Monitoring & Follow-Up: Warts are notoriously resilient. Multiple treatment sessions, typically spaced a few weeks apart, are usually necessary regardless of the method. We will monitor your progress closely and adjust the treatment as needed to achieve the best outcome.

Your podiatrist will explain the chosen procedure, what to expect during and after treatment, and provide clear aftercare instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A: The number of sessions varies greatly depending on the size, depth, and stubbornness of the wart, as well as the treatment method used and individual response. Most warts require multiple treatments over several weeks or months.

A: Yes, the HPV virus that causes plantar warts is contagious. It thrives in warm, moist environments (like swimming pools, communal showers) and can spread through direct contact or contact with contaminated surfaces.
