Electrocoagulation of plantar wart. Prices, reviews, ratings
General information
Papilloma (warts) is a benign skin formation of viral origin, which can be localized on any part of the body. Most people are carriers of the papilloma pathogen. The human immune system restrains and suppresses this pathogenic organism. This virus enters the body through microtraumas of the skin, and is also transmitted sexually. When walking, the soles of the feet are never at rest, so warts in this area cause physical discomfort. There are several ways to remove these skin growths, among the most effective is electrocoagulation.
Procedure
Preparation
The patient should consult a dermatologist. To ensure that the patient has no contraindications to surgery, the patient must undergo a series of tests.
Process of electrocoagulation of plantar warts
An electrocoagulator is a special device used to perform this technique. By means of electric current, a special electrode is heated to such high temperatures that the wart is literally cut off from the sole. Electrocoagulation has a number of advantages:
- it is painless, performed under local anesthesia;
- the operation takes little time and does not require serious rehabilitation;
- the device cauterizes the wound, disinfecting it;
- during electrocoagulation, a hemostatic effect occurs.
It is worth noting that the virus itself will not disappear from the body, but papillomas will no longer appear in the place where the operation was performed.
Rehabilitation period
A scab forms on the area of the sole where the wart was removed. It must be treated according to the doctor's recommendations, mainly with antiseptics. The crust falls off by itself, you can't tear it off. After the scab falls off, scars and cicatrices rarely form. In general, the healing process does not last long, about 10 days.
Indications and contraindications
Electrocoagulation is used in cases where warts are small. Basically, this technique is very relevant for cases with neoplasms on the soles.

- Acute infectious diseases;
- Individual intolerance to this technique;
- Exacerbation of chronic diseases;
