Flat warts that create skin bumps

Remove them cleanly with laser treatment and regain your confidence

Natural beauty, Bellevue Clinic

Tiny bumps that suddenly start appearing on the skin one day. At first, they are easy to overlook, but over time they can gradually spread or grow larger, becoming a nuisance and even lowering confidence in appearance. These are flat warts. They are one of the causes of stubborn skin bumps that just do not go away.

If flat warts are left untreated, they can continue to spread to surrounding areas or even be transmitted to other people, so early treatment is very important. Today, we will take a detailed look at wart laser treatment, which can effectively remove these flat warts, and also share tips for care before and after the procedure.

1. Why do flat warts occur?

Flat warts are caused by a virus. More specifically, they are a skin condition caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus enters skin with weakened immunity and causes epidermal cells to multiply excessively, creating small, flat, smooth bumps on the skin surface. They can look very similar to milia or syringomas.

They commonly appear on exposed areas such as the face, neck, chest, arms, and legs, and unlike other types of warts, their surface is smooth and flat. Their color can vary, including skin-colored, light brown, and pink, and because they often do not itch or cause discomfort, they are even easier to leave untreated. If they become more severe over time, they can turn brown and look quite unsightly.

● Main causes and routes of spread for flat warts

• Self-inoculation: When you scratch or touch a wart, the virus can move to other areas of the skin and spread.

• Contact transmission: They can also spread to others through shared use of towels, razors, and similar items, or through physical contact.

• Weakened immunity: When the body's immune system is lowered, the virus becomes more active, and the warts can spread or grow more easily. People in this condition often catch them at swimming pools or public bathhouses.

2. Why do flat warts need treatment?

• Prevent spread: If left untreated, the virus continues to be active and can keep spreading to nearby skin or increase in size. It would be nice if they disappeared on their own, but in most cases, especially for people with immune issues or those with thin, delicate skin, they spread more easily, so it is better to treat them early.

• Cosmetic improvement: If they are numerous on exposed areas such as the face or neck, they can reduce confidence in appearance and cause stress.

• Prevent transmission to others: Treatment can reduce the risk of passing the virus to family members or people nearby.

• Skin health: In rare cases, they may be mistaken for other skin conditions, and when they spread, they can occasionally cause itching.

3. How does flat wart laser treatment work?

There are various ways to treat flat warts, but one of the most effective and commonly used methods is laser treatment. Laser treatment can precisely destroy only the wart tissue, allowing it to be removed cleanly while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin. The lasers commonly used include the following.

CO2 laser (carbon dioxide laser)

This method uses a long wavelength of 10,600 nm, which is absorbed by water in the skin and generates heat energy. This heat energy burns and vaporizes the wart tissue to remove it. It can precisely remove wart tissue, making it effective for treating small lesions or more widespread lesions. After the procedure, scabs form, and care is needed during recovery.

Er:YAG laser (erbium YAG laser)

This method uses a short wavelength of 2940 nm to precisely ablate the skin surface. It causes less damage to surrounding tissue than a CO2 laser and tends to allow faster recovery. Because precise treatment is possible, it is advantageous for minimizing scarring. It is especially often used to remove flat warts on the face or other sensitive areas.

Other lasers: Depending on the type, size, location of the wart, and the skin type, other kinds of lasers (for example, long-pulsed Nd:YAG lasers) may be used together or instead.

▣ Typical laser procedure process

• Accurate diagnosis and consultation: A board-certified dermatologist accurately diagnoses the type and distribution of the warts and establishes the optimal laser type and treatment plan based on the individual's skin characteristics.

• Anesthesia: An anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize pain. Small lesions can sometimes be treated without anesthesia, but anesthesia may be needed when removing multiple lesions or treating sensitive areas.

• Laser procedure: The medical staff precisely applies the laser to destroy and remove the wart tissue.

• Finishing: After the procedure, a regenerative ointment is applied or a regenerative tape is placed to protect the wound area.

4. Benefits of flat wart laser treatment

• Accurate and effective removal: Because the laser selectively destroys only the wart tissue, clean removal is possible while minimizing damage to surrounding skin.

• Short procedure time: Most flat warts take very little time to treat individually, so even when many are removed, the total procedure time is not long.

• Relatively little pain: Because anesthetic cream is applied, the discomfort during the procedure is usually just a mild stinging sensation, so the burden of pain is low.

• Minimal scarring: If performed precisely by experienced medical staff, scarring can be minimized. (Results may vary depending on the individual's skin type and the depth of the warts.)

• Recurrence management: Even after laser removal, recurrence rates can be lowered through immune management and lifestyle improvements.

5. Post-procedure care tips after flat wart laser treatment (very important!)

Post-procedure care plays a crucial role in preventing recurrence and minimizing scarring.

• Regenerative tape or ointment: After the procedure, follow the medical staff's instructions by applying regenerative tape or using regenerative ointment consistently to protect the wound and aid recovery. Do not forcibly remove scabs; let them fall off naturally.

• Sun protection: The treated area is very vulnerable to ultraviolet rays, so when going বাইরে, be sure to apply sunscreen carefully and use a hat or parasol to thoroughly block UV exposure. This is very important for preventing pigmentation.

• Cleansing and showering: On the day of the procedure, do only a light cleanse and take care not to let water directly touch the treated area. From the next day onward, gentle cleansing and showering are possible, but avoid rubbing or irritating the treated area.

• Avoid alcohol and smoking: For at least one week after the procedure, it is best to avoid drinking alcohol and smoking. They can increase the risk of inflammation and slow wound healing.

• Avoid bathhouses/steam rooms/saunas: For a few days after the procedure, avoid soaking in hot water or exposing yourself to humid environments.

• Do not scratch or touch: If you scratch the treated area or forcibly remove scabs, scars may remain and there is a risk of secondary infection, so be careful.

• Immune health management: Since flat warts are a viral condition, strengthening immunity through adequate rest, a balanced diet, and regular exercise is very helpful in preventing recurrence.

• Communication with medical staff: If you have questions after the procedure or notice any unusual symptoms (such as excessive swelling, pain, or fever), contact the clinic where you received treatment immediately and consult with the medical staff.

6. Can flat warts recur?

Unfortunately, because flat warts are a viral condition, they may recur if immunity drops again after treatment or if you are exposed to the virus again. However, there is no need to worry too much. If you receive an accurate diagnosis and treatment from experienced medical staff and combine this with consistent aftercare and immune management, you can significantly reduce the recurrence rate. To emphasize once more, unlike moles, warts can continue to spread, so even if they recur, it is important to return early for treatment.
