A member asked:
Will surgery to remove a large wart at the top of my hand (just below the knuckle) cause permanent scaring?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, but it depends: Any surgical procedure in which skin in incised will leave a scar. However, if it is done skillfully the scar may be imperceptible. As I mentioned earlier, unless it is of cosmetic concern, you may wish to leave it alone as most warts heal by themselves.

Yes: All surgery causes scars. How well they heal varies.
