Risks & possible complications
- Pain, redness, swelling, or blistering at the treatment site.
- Scarring or changes in skin pigmentation (hypo- or hyperpigmentation).
- Infection at the treatment site.
- Recurrence of warts, as treatment removes visible warts but not the underlying HPV virus.
- Bleeding, especially with surgical excision or electrocautery.
- Rarely, nerve damage in the treated area, potentially causing numbness.
- Incomplete removal, requiring additional treatment sessions.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Mild to moderate soreness is common; over-the-counter pain relievers may be recommended.
- Keep the treated area clean and dry as per the dermatologist's instructions.
- Avoid picking at scabs or blisters to prevent scarring and infection.
- Refrain from sexual activity until the area is fully healed, which can take 1-4 weeks.
- Avoid tight clothing that may irritate the treated area.
- Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor healing and check for recurrence.
- Use condoms to reduce future transmission risk, understanding that HPV can spread from areas not covered by a condom.
