How long does scarring last when warts are burned off?

It depends on method: In my practice i burn warts which are confined to the epidermal layer with curretage or scraping and burning the base with needle point electrocautery. This technique allows for rapid healing with scars fading over 4 weeks.

Depends: It depends on how they where burned off, how deep they where, where on the body they where removed from some scarring can be permanent.
