Question : I had a wart that would not go away often I froze it twice and it has bothered me for the last year it would bleed every time I put on gloves so I cut it off so I'm wondering if it made it worse or better
Brief Answer:
Radiofrequency ablation
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Warts need to be removed by using radiofrequency ablation.
It is an Opd procedures and can be easily done by a dermatologist.
It can also be treated using topical medications.
I usually prescribe ointment tretinoin and have seen good response in my patients.
You too can try it.
Cutting it might reduce the lesion but cannot cure it.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
