Question

How long does it take to recover from a wart being cut out?

Answer 1

Depends: I have seen warts that have taken years to grow into a large lesion and I have seen some that have developed in weeks. The good thing is that their average lifespan is about 1 and 1/2 years!

Answer 2

2-4 weeks: They work very slowly and gradually.

Answer 3

Unknown: It may take one treatment or it may take many.

Answer 4

Bump: A raised, cauliflower-looking bump.

Answer 5

Raised growth: It is most often a raised, white circular growth that you can often see black spots at the top of it. It usually hurts when you press down on it and press it side to side.

Answer 6

Get it taken off: By using a laser.

Answer 7

Several options: There are several options to treat common warts. You can try over the counter compound w type products. Some studies even have shown placing a small piece of duct tape over a wart for a few weeks will work. A dermatologist might use liquid nitrogen, acid or another compound to treat warts as well as surgically trimming the wart down. If a wart is larger or persists a physicians help is needed.

Answer 8

What treatment?: It would depend on what was done to it. Medications like condylox (podofilox) take several weeks to work. Cryotherapy can take a couple of weeks to heal.

Gone: If the wart was treated the healing wart will dissappear when healed.

You can stop: Once the wart is gone all the way, it probably won't come back.
