Papilloma Removal
Papillomas are small, benign skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Though usually harmless, they can be removed quickly and safely for aesthetic or comfort reasons using non-invasive methods like radiofrequency or laser.
Remove Skin Growths with Confidence
What is Papilloma Removal?
Papilloma removal is a simple outpatient procedure that uses medical techniques such as cauterization, cryotherapy, or laser to remove benign skin growths. We ensure safe, hygienic removal with minimal discomfort and fast recovery.
Symptoms
Papillomas are typically asymptomatic and commonly appear after the age of 25–30. While they are usually harmless, their growth or spread can lead to:
- Itching
- Burning sensation
- Bleeding (especially if scratched or irritated)
They most often develop in warm, moist areas of the body where skin folds promote the activity of HPV (Human Papillomavirus). Common sites include the neck, face (particularly the eyelids), armpits, chest, and groin.
Transmission
Papillomas are caused by specific genotypes of the HPV virus, primarily HPV-6 and HPV-11, along with other low-risk types. They are not highly contagious between individuals, but people with a genetic predisposition may be more susceptible. However, they can spread on the same person through scratching, rubbing, or injury to the affected area.
