How can I prevent warts? What about treatment? These are very common questions among many people suffering from warts.

Skin warts are very common nowadays; and so are their treatment methods. In most cases people suffering from warts infections have tried many options ranging from home remedies and removal to over the counter removers, with success rate of 50% over at least 6 weeks of application. If your warts still don't disappear, you can turn to treatment by a doctor, who can freeze or cut off the wart.

The dermatologist at Skin Centre, the skin clinic in Nairobi, Kenya; agrees that it perfectly okay to first try over-the-counter wart removal for as long as it is recommended to you. However, if your warts either do not go away during that time, or if they get worse, it may be wise to seek specialised medical attention.

Skin Centre offers specialised treatment for skin warts that have persisted even after attempts to remove them by using home concoctions and over the counter treatments have failed. We apply special medical procedures to either destroy the wart, stimulate an immune system response to fight the virus, or both. Treatment may take weeks or months. We use a variety of wart treatment and removal techniques that are stronger and are sure to work faster and completely eliminate warts from your body. It is also advisable to remember that all warts can be “mother” warts that give rise to additional warts in your skin. Be advised therefore to ensure that you remove the wart as early as possible to prevent the spread.

We advise that you list questions for your doctor, such as:
• What made the warts develop?
• If I have them removed, will they come back?
• What types of treatments are available to remove the warts, and which do you recommend?
• What types of side effects can I expect?
• What are the alternatives to the primary approach you're suggesting?
• If the growths aren't warts, what tests do you need to do?

Be prepared that our doctor may also have some questions for you, such as:
• When did you first notice the warts?
• Have you ever had them in the past?
• Are you bothered by the warts, either for cosmetic reasons or for comfort?
• What treatments have you already used for your warts? If so, how long have you used them and what were the results?

This way, we will be in the best position to apply the most appropriate and effective treatment procedure to fully eliminate your warts.
