After laser treatment

This lesson is part of the WARTES HPV Masterclass. Preview: the first part of the narration.

Your laser treatment is done, and the warts are gone. So, what happens now? In this video, I explain how the healing goes, how to care for the wound, whether it leaves a scar, and when you should contact us right away. Where the laser vaporised the wart, it leaves a small, shallow wound.

This is normal. The skin renews this area from below, by itself. Your job is to keep the wound clean, and to give it time to heal. For the first 12 hours, do not get the wound wet. Do not shower, and do not wash the area.

After 12 hours, you can shower as usual. Do not rub the area; gently pat it dry with a soft towel. No special care is needed. Apply the antibiotic cream we gave you in a thin layer, every morning and evening, for 7 days.

If needed, we also add a cream that supports healing. Apart from these, do not use any other cream, and never use wart-burning creams or liquids: they damage the healthy skin. Wear loose cotton underwear, so the area is not rubbed.
