Wart remove on Scalp
I have a wart on my scalp from my birth. Recently I got to know that's not birth mark and a wart.
I'm looking for a surgeon to get the wart removed.
Hi.. first would be to confirm if it's actually a wart by a dermatologist as many birth marks/ naevi do appear similar.
Regarding your query upon getting a wart removed there are multiple procedures that could be performed.
1. Electrocautery
2 co 2 laser
If the above isn't available then cryotherapy/ liquid nitrogen
Next Steps
video consultation for further management

Electrocautery is a way to remove a wart using heat from electricity. The electricity is used to heat the needle which is put on the wart. Consult a Dermatologist for the same. It can be removed with local anaesthesia. Occasionally may require a couple of sessions.
