Welcome to City Dermatology Clinic, your trusted partner for private wart, skin tag & verruca removal in Manchester. Our team, led by some of UK’s most skilled dermatologists and surgeons, specialises in safe, efficient, and minimally invasive techniques to address and remove warts. We offer surgical excision for all types of warts, including those on the face, hands, feet, and torso, ensuring complete care for our patients across common affected areas.

At City Dermatology Clinic Manchester, we provide a personalised approach to treat a range of skin concerns, including warts, verrucas, and skin tags. Every treatment is delivered with expert care, aiming for complete removal and minimal recurrence.

 

When over-the-counter creams and topical treatments fail to resolve the issue, professional removal offers a more effective and lasting solution for persistent warts, verrucas, and skin tags.

Treatment OptionHow It Works
Surgical Excision (Curettage and Cautery)A precise method commonly used for skin tags, large warts, or persistent verrucas that haven’t responded to other treatments. Under local anaesthetic, the lesion is carefully scraped and cauterised to remove all visible tissue. This method offers excellent results in a single visit and promotes clean healing with low scarring risk.
Electrocautery Laser RemovalSuitable for difficult or sensitive areas, including genital warts, facial skin tags, or deep verrucas. This method uses focused heat to burn away the lesion while protecting the surrounding skin. It’s effective, quick to heal, and ideal for patients looking for a cosmetic outcome with less chance of recurrence.
Cryotherapy (Freezing Treatment)A go-to treatment for common warts, plantar verrucas, and smaller skin tags. Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze the lesion, causing it to blister and fall off naturally. It’s a fast, minimally invasive option, though more than one session may be required for stubborn growths.

Experience expert wart, verruca, and skin tag removal at City Dermatology Clinic in Manchester, where our experienced specialists provide personalised care using medically proven techniques. Here’s what to expect from your treatment journey – from your first consultation to aftercare and follow-up.

 

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation at our Manchester clinic. During this appointment, one of our dermatology experts will assess the growth – whether it’s a common wart, plantar verruca, or skin tag – and discuss your concerns. We treat lesions across the body, including hands, feet, face, and intimate areas.

 

Detailed Assessment

Not all growths are the same. The size, location, and type of wart or skin tag will influence how it’s treated. Your clinician will evaluate the area and discuss the potential for spreading or recurrence, helping you understand the most effective approach for safe and complete removal.

 

Choosing the Right Removal Method

We offer a range of advanced treatments at our Manchester clinic, including cryotherapy, electrocautery, laser removal, and minor surgical excision. The right method is chosen based on the type of lesion and your skin’s needs, ensuring both cosmetic and medical results.

 

Treatment Appointment

On the day of your procedure, your chosen treatment will be carried out by our skilled team. Most wart and skin tag removals are completed within a single session. We aim to make the process as comfortable and efficient as possible.

 

Aftercare & Healing Support

Following removal, you’ll receive full instructions on how to care for the area. This may include topical creams, dressings, or specific hygiene advice to support healing and reduce the chance of recurrence.

 

Complimentary Aftercare

All treatments come with free aftercare support. Our Manchester dermatology team will check in with you post-procedure, offering follow-up appointments if needed and ensuring the treated area is healing as expected.

 

Follow-Up (If Required)

Some cases, such as deeper plantar warts or larger skin tags, may require monitoring. Where necessary, we’ll schedule a follow-up to confirm successful removal and advise on any further steps.

Understanding what triggers these common skin concerns can help with early identification and prevention. While most warts, verrucas, and skin tags are harmless, they can become bothersome or spread if not managed properly. Below is a quick guide to their typical symptoms, causes, and how to reduce the risk of future growths.
