How to Remove Flat Warts
Disease description:
I noticed a small growth on my skin two days ago and visited the dermatology department for an examination. The doctor diagnosed it as a flat wart. I would like to ask how to remove flat warts?

There are several methods for removing flat warts, including pharmacological treatment, physical therapy, and surgical treatment. In terms of drug therapy, topical medications such as tretinoin cream and imiquimod cream can be used; these medications promote epidermal cell renewal and have antiviral effects. Physical therapies include liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, laser treatment, and photodynamic therapy. These methods destroy wart tissue through freezing, laser energy, or photochemical reactions, thereby removing the flat warts. For larger and more persistent flat warts, surgical excision may also be an option. When selecting a treatment method, decisions should be made based on the patient's specific condition and the physician's recommendations, and skin hygiene should be maintained during treatment to avoid infection.
