Question 1

What causes warts (musa) to develop in Kathmandu?

Accepted Answer

Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which can easily spread through direct skin-to-skin contact. Environmental factors like high humidity and close contact in communal places (such as public pools, gyms, or shared facilities) also strongly contribute to their spread.

Question 2

How can I tell if a growth on my skin is a wart?

Accepted Answer

Warts typically have a rough, raised surface and often contain tiny, seed-like black dots (which are clotted blood capillaries). They feel firm to the touch and frequently appear on hands, fingers, soles of the feet, and face.

Question 3

Are there different types of warts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are several types of warts, including common warts, plantar warts (on the soles of the feet), flat warts, filiform warts (around the face and eyelids), and genital warts.

Question 4

What home remedies can help treat warts?

Accepted Answer

While popular internet remedies include applying duct tape, garlic, or apple cider vinegar, clinical results vary widely. Trying unverified DIY remedies often causes contact dermatitis, chemical burns, or accidental spreading of the virus before a patient finally visits a clinic. Consulting a dermatologist first is strongly recommended.

Question 5

When should I see a doctor?

Accepted Answer

You should consult a dermatologist as soon as you notice a wart because they can multiply quickly. Immediate medical attention is needed if the wart is painful, bleeding, rapidly spreading, changing in appearance, or if you have a compromised immune system.

Question 6

How much does wart removal cost in Kathmandu?

Accepted Answer

At Derma Clinic, wart removal treatments start from Rs 3,000 per session. The final cost depends on the number of warts, their size/depth, and whether Cryotherapy, Electrocautery, or Chemical Cautery is used. A clear cost breakdown is provided during your consultation.

Question 7

Is the procedure painful?

Accepted Answer

Most clinical treatments involve minimal discomfort. For Electrocautery or minor excision, a local anesthetic is applied to numb the area completely, ensuring little to no pain. Cryotherapy (freezing) produces a brief stinging sensation but is generally well-tolerated.

Question 8

Will warts come back after treatment?

Accepted Answer

While clinical removal eliminates the visible growth, the underlying HPV virus can occasionally remain dormant in deeper skin layers. However, professional clinical removal significantly lowers the recurrence rate compared to home remedies.

Question 9

How long does the procedure take?

Accepted Answer

Most in-clinic sessions take only 15 to 30 minutes. Because it is a minor outpatient procedure, patients can return to work, school, and normal activities immediately after leaving the clinic.

Question 10

Do you treat genital warts at Derma Clinic?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide private, strictly confidential treatment for genital warts using safe methods like Cryotherapy and Chemical Cautery in a comfortable, non-judgmental medical environment.
