Wart & Verruca Removal in London
Consultant-led · day surgery · Harley Street, London
Warts and verrucas are common viral skin growths that can be stubborn and uncomfortable. At Minor Surgery UK a consultant treats persistent warts from £150 — by cautery, curettage or excision under local anaesthetic — usually in a single same-day visit. You return to normal activities right away.
What the treatment involves
Stubborn warts and verrucas can be removed by cautery (heat), curettage (scraping) or surgical excision under local anaesthetic, treating the base so the wart is less likely to return.
When a growth needs checking, not just removing
Most warts and verrucas are harmless, but any skin lesion that is changing, bleeding, crusting, not healing, or simply doesn't look typical should be assessed to rule out skin cancer before any cosmetic removal. If a consultant has any concern about a lesion, it is investigated and, where removed, sent for laboratory analysis (histology) rather than simply taken off for appearance.
When to seek treatment
Many warts clear on their own, but treatment helps when they are painful, spreading, persistent despite home remedies, or in an awkward spot such as the sole of the foot.
Recovery
Most sites settle within a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the method. You can usually return to normal activities the same day.
Cost
Wart and verruca removal starts from £150; multiple lesions are quoted at consultation. [Indicative — confirm against your price list before publishing.]

Frequently asked questions
How much does wart removal cost?
At Minor Surgery UK, wart and verruca removal starts from £150, with multiple lesions quoted together at consultation.
Is wart removal painful?
Treatment is done under local anaesthetic, so the area is numbed. There may be mild soreness afterwards as the area heals.
Do warts come back after removal?
Warts are caused by a virus, so although the treated wart is removed, new ones can occasionally appear. Treating the base reduces the chance of regrowth.
When should I get a wart treated?
Consider treatment if a wart is painful, spreading, persistent despite over-the-counter remedies, or in an awkward area like the sole of the foot.
How long does treatment take?
Wart removal usually takes 10 to 25 minutes and is a same-day, walk-in-walk-out procedure.
Can you treat verrucas too?
Yes — verrucas are simply warts on the sole of the foot and are treated the same way.
