Warts in children: why they should not be ignored

Warts are one of the most common reasons families see a pediatric dermatologist. Even though they are benign, they can grow quickly, spread to other areas, cause pain, and affect a child’s confidence.

At Radeski Skin Clinic (Fergana and Kokand), childhood warts are removed with a modern Italian DEKA CO₂ laser — a precise, controlled option when treatment is needed.

Why do warts appear?

Warts are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Infection usually happens through contact with infected skin or shared surfaces.

Risk is higher in children who:

• have a temporarily weaker immune response;
• attend swimming pools or sports clubs;
• bite their nails;
• have small skin injuries;
• have sweaty palms or soles.

Which types are most common?

In children, we most often see:

• common warts on hands and fingers;
• plantar warts on the soles;
• flat warts on the face and hands;
• periungual warts around the nails.

Plantar warts can be especially painful because walking constantly presses on them.

Do warts always need removal?

Some warts resolve on their own, but that can take months or years. During that time they may enlarge, hurt, or spread the virus.

Removal is often considered when:

• the wart grows quickly;
• pain develops;
• it bleeds;
• new lesions appear;
• they are on the face or visible areas;
• the child feels discomfort or is embarrassed.

The final decision is made after a dermatologist examination.

Why DEKA CO₂ laser?

A modern DEKA CO₂ laser can remove wart tissue with high precision while limiting injury to surrounding healthy skin.

Advantages

• high precision;
• less damage to healthy skin;
• short procedure time;
• minimal bleeding;
• laser’s sterilizing effect;
• lower scar risk;
• relatively quick healing.

That makes it a practical option for the face, fingers, palms, and soles.

How does the procedure work?

The dermatologist examines the lesion and confirms the diagnosis.

When needed, local anesthesia is used for comfort. The laser vaporizes wart tissue layer by layer while coagulating vessels, so bleeding and infection risk stay low.

Removing one wart usually takes only a few minutes.

Is it painful for the child?

This is parents’ most common question. After local anesthesia, children typically feel mild pressure or warmth. Most tolerate the procedure calmly, though sensitivity varies.

Aftercare

Your doctor will give personalized instructions. Usually you should:

• not pick the crust;
• keep the area clean and dry;
• pause swimming pools and saunas for a while;
• protect the skin from sun until healed.

Full recovery commonly takes 1–3 weeks, depending on size and location.

Can new warts be prevented?

Risk cannot be fully eliminated, but you can lower it by:

• good personal hygiene;
• personal footwear in pools;
• prompt care for cuts and scrapes;
• supporting overall immunity;
• seeing a dermatologist at the first signs.
