Frequently Asked Questions

You’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions below. Everything you need to know is right here, designed to help you make an informed and confident decision.

Do warts need treating?

Not always. Many warts clear by themselves over months to a couple of years. Treatment is worth considering if they are painful, spreading or bothering you.

What treatments are available?

Options may include topical treatments and cryotherapy (freezing) where available. Warts can be stubborn, so more than one treatment is sometimes needed.

Are warts contagious?

The virus can spread by contact and can be passed to other areas of your own skin, so simple hygiene measures help reduce spread.
