Warts get tolerated far longer than they need to be. They are small, they are not painful at first, and there is always a home remedy someone suggests. Meanwhile the virus spreads along the skin and what was one wart becomes six.
They are also mistaken for other things constantly. Plantar warts get shaved down as corns for months. Flat warts on the face get treated as acne and scratched, which spreads them in a line. A few things that look like warts are not warts at all and need a biopsy.
Here the lesion is examined under dermoscopy and confirmed before anything is removed. Removal is by radiofrequency ablation or cautery under local anaesthesia, satellite warts are treated at the same sitting, and you leave with aftercare instructions that are the main defence against recurrence.
