Warts are small lumps and bumps that develop on the skin, usually on hands and feet. They can affect anyone, are all contagious and can be picked up from skin-to-skin contact, or at places like public swimming pools where the moisture helps the transfer of bacteria. As warts are contagious, it is best to treat them as soon as possible to avoid them from spreading to other areas or other people.
Warts are the result of an infection from the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), and although they are generally harmless many people choose to have them removed. They can be itchy or uncomfortable, verrucae can feel like needles, and warts can have an impact on self-esteem if they are visible.
Most NHS services now see the removal of warts and verrucae as a “procedure of limited clinical value” and are unlikely to refer patients for wart removal. We do not require NHS GP Referral.
If you would like your wart or verruca removed and would like to be seen quickly, enquire with us today and we can provide you with a cost of removal.
Summerfield Healthcare offer the shave and cauterisation method of wart removal. Our clinician will first numb the area with local anaesthetic.
The clinician will then shave the wart and cauterise the base, sealing and protecting your skin.
Our clinicians can remove multiple lesions in one appointment so you won’t need to book on multiple occasions. If we do however find that you need longer than the booked appointment time, we will also assist you in booking a further appointment at a time convenient to you.
During your initial consultation, your consultant will look at any affected area and speak to you about the possible treatment options. The cost of multiple removals will be confirmed to you before your procedure starts and there are no hidden costs.

An initial triage based on the photos you send us. This will determine the most suitable clinician and provide a guide price for removal.
A consultation is required prior to removal, to ensure the lesion(s) is as described during the triage process and is suitable for removal on the day. Consultation and removal can take place on the same day if both clinician and patient are happy to proceed.
The removal price is based on the presentation of the lesion, and the location on the body. Please note there is an additional cost for warts located on the neck or higher, this will be discussed with you prior to booking.
Our private medical centres are conveniently located and meet the needs of families in a wide surrounding area.
