How many days after laser removal of warts does the scab fall off?

In general, the time it takes for scabs to fall off after laser wart removal varies from person to person, but typically occurs within 7 to 14 days.

If a patient has good physical health, strong metabolism, and a robust recovery ability, the scab may naturally shed within 7 to 10 days. However, if the patient has weaker constitution, slower metabolism, and reduced healing capacity, the scab may take longer to fall off, usually between 10 to 14 days.

If the wart is small and shallowly positioned, the scab may shed naturally within 7 to 10 days. If the wart is larger and deeper, the scab may take 10 to 14 days or more to fall off.

After the procedure, keeping the wound clean and dry, and avoiding infection or irritation, helps ensure normal scab shedding. If the wound becomes contaminated, or is subjected to friction, scratching, or other irritation, the scab may take longer to fall off, healing could be impaired, and the risk of scarring may increase.
