When a teenager’s recurring fascial wart was causing discomfort and frustration, a parent sought a more effective solution. After several rounds of cryotherapy at various clinics, which only provided temporary relief, they turned to City Dermatology Clinic for an option that would offer lasting results. Dr. Jana Torres-Grau, one of the clinic’s renowned plastic surgeons specialising in paediatric reconstructive surgery, provided the guidance and expertise they needed. This is their journey toward a permanent solution.
The Struggle with Recurring Warts and the Limitations of Cryotherapy
For years, the family had used cryotherapy as the treatment of choice. While cryotherapy can be effective for many, in this case, the wart would return within months, leaving both the teenager and parent frustrated. Recurring warts can be particularly difficult to manage, especially in adolescents, as their bodies are still developing and their immune systems may not fully respond to treatments like cryotherapy.
Once the teenager turned 16, surgical removal became an option, something that had not been possible earlier. The family booked a consultation at City Dermatology Clinic, seeking a more permanent solution.
Dr. Jana Torres-Grau: A Specialist in Paediatric Surgical Treatments
At the forefront of this case was Dr. Jana Torres-Grau, a consultant plastic surgeon with extensive experience in paediatric reconstructive surgery. She understands the unique needs of young patients and brings a compassionate, meticulous approach to her practice. Dr. Torres-Grau has spent years refining her skills in delicate paediatric procedures, and her focus on the well-being of children has earned her a reputation as a leading expert in her field.
At City Dermatology Clinic, Dr. Torres-Grau not only provides effective surgical treatments but also works hard to ensure that both the patients and their families feel confident and well-informed every step of the way. In this case, she carefully explained the surgical process to both the teenager and the parent, ensuring they understood how the treatment worked and why it offered a better long-term solution than cryotherapy.
The Surgical Solution: A Faster, Less Painful Alternative
Surgery was quickly identified as the best option for this recurring issue. Unlike cryotherapy, which often requires multiple sessions and can cause discomfort, surgical removal is a more definitive and often one-time procedure. The wart was removed with precision, minimising discomfort and significantly reducing the chances of recurrence.
Both the teenager and parent were pleased with the quick recovery time. The teenager was able to return to their normal routine much sooner than expected, with only minor aftercare required. The clinic’s policy of 7-day-a-week follow-up availability gave the family additional peace of mind, knowing they could contact Dr. Torres-Grau or the team with any questions or concerns.
A Similar Story: Helping Children Overcome Persistent Warts
This is not the first time Dr. Torres-Grau has encountered difficult cases involving children and warts. Another family, facing a similar issue, came to the clinic after their 10-year-old son had been treated with cryotherapy for a large plantar wart on the sole of his foot. Despite several attempts at treatment over the course of a year, the wart continued to return, causing the child discomfort and difficulty in walking.
After a thorough consultation, Dr. Torres-Grau suggested a less invasive surgical excision for the wart, which was performed under local anaesthetic. The young boy’s recovery was swift, and unlike previous treatments, this time the wart did not return. His parents were relieved, expressing their gratitude for the professionalism and kindness shown by the entire clinic team.
These are just a couple of examples of how City Dermatology Clinic specialises in treating paediatric skin conditions, offering solutions tailored to the individual needs of young patients and their families. Dr. Torres-Grau’s expertise in paediatric surgery has made her a go-to specialist for families looking for long-term results, especially when previous treatments have failed.
