Acid-based wart removal is an effective treatment for viral skin lesions such as common warts and flat warts. The procedure involves the precise application of a medical-grade acid directly to the affected area. This powerful solution gradually exfoliates the infected tissue, targeting skin cells compromised by the HPV virus. The acid works by breaking down the wart layer by layer, allowing healthy skin to regenerate naturally. It’s a controlled and focused approach that ensures safe, scar-free results when performed by a professional.

Acid-based wart removal is ideal for individuals dealing with single or multiple viral warts, most commonly found on the hands and feet. This treatment is a great option for those seeking a non-invasive alternative to surgical or laser methods—especially if over-the-counter remedies haven’t delivered the desired results. It’s also recommended to help prevent the spread of warts to other areas of the body or transmission to others. The procedure is safe for both adults and children, making it a versatile and accessible solution for managing stubborn warts effectively.
STEP 1: Cleansing & disinfection
STEP 2: Acid application
The treated wart gradually shrinks and disappears over time. The skin heals naturally, with the area regenerating on its own—typically without leaving a scar. Initial results are often visible just a few days after the first application. However, for deeper or more stubborn lesions, multiple sessions may be required to achieve full resolution.
This treatment is not recommended for individuals with known allergies to any of the ingredients used in the acid solution. It should also be avoided if the skin at the treatment site is broken, irritated, or infected, as acid application may worsen inflammation. Acid-based wart removal is not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless previously approved by a physician. Caution is also advised in patients with diabetes, peripheral circulation disorders, or chronic skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis—especially if the affected areas overlap with the treatment site.
