Wart Removal
Wart removal is a medical procedure used to eliminate warts, non-cancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Depending on the size, location and number of warts, various techniques such as cryotherapy using nitrogen, electrocautery or laser surgery may be employed. The goal is to destroy the wart while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
In Greece:
Wart removal in Greece is typically done through cryotherapy or surgical excision. Cryotherapy involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen, while surgical excision physically removes the wart. Both methods are commonly used and available at medical centers.
Additional:
Greece's healthcare system is a mix of public and private services. Waiting times for non-emergency procedures can vary, but are generally shorter in private facilities.
