Understanding HPV and the Importance of Vaccination

What Are Warts?

Warts are non-cancerous skin growths caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear on different parts of the body depending on the HPV strain involved. Genital warts affect the genital and anal areas and are transmitted through skin-to-skin sexual contact. Common warts typically appear on the hands or feet. Both types are treatable with the right medical care.

Types of Warts We Treat

At AscendCare, we treat the following types of warts:

Genital Warts:
Caused by HPV types 6 and 11. They appear as small, flesh-coloured or grey growths on or around the genitals, anus, or upper thighs. They may be flat or raised, single or clustered.

Common Warts (Verruca Vulgaris):
Firm, raised growths that typically appear on the hands, fingers, or around the nails. Often rough to the touch.

Flat Warts (Verruca Plana):
Smooth, flat-topped growths that can appear on the face, arms, or legs. More common in children but can affect adults.

Plantar Warts:
Hard growths on the soles of the feet that may cause discomfort when walking.

Symptoms and Signs to Look Out For

Genital warts may appear as small bumps or clusters of bumps, while common warts tend to be rough and raised. Many warts are painless, though they may cause itching, discomfort, or bleeding in some cases. If you notice any unusual growths in the genital area or elsewhere, early medical assessment is recommended.

Wart Removal and Treatment Options at AscendCare

Our doctor will recommend the most appropriate treatment plan based on the type, size, and location of your warts:

Female

Topical prescription medications: Our doctor may prescribe clinically approved topical treatments for genital warts, applied at home over a prescribed period under medical supervision.

Male

Cryotherapy (Liquid Nitrogen Freezing) – coming soon:
A clinic procedure that freezes and destroys wart tissue. Suitable for common warts and selected genital wart cases.

Our doctor will discuss all available options and recommend a wart treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

Wart Removal for Genital Warts

Genital warts require medical treatment. Attempting to remove them at home using over-the-counter products is not recommended as these are formulated for common warts and can cause skin irritation or damage to the sensitive genital area.

Our clinic provides safe, evidence-based genital warts removal in Singapore, carried out by Dr Michael Yan in a private clinical setting.

Prevention: HPV Vaccination

The Gardasil 9 HPV vaccine protects against the HPV strains responsible for genital warts (types 6 and 11) as well as several high-risk strains linked to cervical and other cancers. AscendCare offers HPV vaccination for males and females. Vaccination is most effective before first sexual exposure but can still provide benefit in adults who have not yet been infected by all vaccine-covered strains.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wart Removal in Singapore

How Do I Know If I Have Genital Warts?

Genital warts appear as small, flesh-coloured or grey bumps or clusters around the genitals, anus, groin, or upper thighs. They may be flat or raised and are usually painless, though some may itch or bleed. If you notice any unusual growths, visit our clinic for an examination and accurate diagnosis.

Are Genital Warts the Same as Common Warts?

No. Genital warts and common warts are caused by different strains of HPV and require different treatments. Common warts appear on the hands and feet, while genital warts affect the genital and anal areas. Over-the-counter products for common warts should not be used on genital warts.

How Are Warts Removed at AscendCare?

We offer topical prescription treatments prescribed by our doctor, tailored to the type, size, and location of your warts. Cryotherapy will be available soon.

Is Wart Removal Painful?

Topical treatments may cause mild skin irritation or a burning sensation during application. Our doctor will advise on how to minimise discomfort and prescribe supportive medication if needed. Most patients tolerate treatment well.

How Long Does Wart Treatment Take?

Topical treatments are applied over several weeks and results vary by individual. Some patients see clearance within 4 to 8 weeks, while others may require a longer course. Our doctor will monitor your progress at follow-up appointments.

Can Warts Come Back After Treatment?

Wart recurrence is possible because treatment removes visible warts but does not eliminate HPV from the body. Recurrence rates are highest in the first few months after treatment. Completing your full treatment course, attending follow-up visits, and considering HPV vaccination can help reduce recurrence risk.

How Much Does Wart Removal Cost in Singapore?

Doctor’s consultations at AscendCare start from $28. Wart treatment costs will depend on the type and extent of treatment required. All pricing is discussed transparently during your consultation with no hidden fees.

Should My Partner Also Get Tested?

Yes. If you have been diagnosed with genital warts, we recommend that your sexual partner(s) also visit a clinic for assessment. HPV can be transmitted even when no visible warts are present. Early assessment and treatment benefit both partners.

Is the HPV Vaccine Effective Against Warts?

The Gardasil 9 vaccine protects against HPV types 6 and 11, which cause approximately 90% of genital wart cases. Vaccination before first sexual exposure offers the best protection, but adults who have not been exposed to all vaccine strains can still benefit.
