Wart removal in Portugal is typically done through cryotherapy or surgical excision. Cryotherapy involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen, while surgical excision physically removes the wart. Costs range from €50 to €300 depending on the location and size of the wart.
Portugal's healthcare system is primarily public and universally accessible, although private options exist for quicker access.
