Looking for safe and effective wart removal in Subang Jaya? At Sheen Clinic, our doctors diagnose and treat various types of warts caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), including common warts, plantar warts, flat warts, filiform warts, periungual warts, and selected genital (vulval) warts. Treatment options include laser wart removal, electrocautery, cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen), and prescription topical medication, depending on the wart's type, size, location, and severity. Wart removal starts from RM150, and most patients require 1–3 treatment sessions. Every consultation includes a thorough skin assessment, personalized treatment planning, and aftercare advice to reduce recurrence and promote optimal healing.
Warts are non-cancerous skin growths caused by infection with certain types of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The virus infects the outer layer of the skin through tiny cuts or breaks, causing the skin cells to grow more rapidly than normal.
Although warts are generally harmless, they can become painful, spread to other parts of the body, or affect self-confidence depending on their size and location.
Many people assume warts will disappear on their own. While this is possible, some warts persist for months or even years without treatment and may continue spreading to nearby skin or other people.
At Sheen Clinic in Subang Jaya, our doctors provide professional diagnosis and evidence-based wart removal treatments designed to safely remove the wart while minimizing discomfort and reducing the risk of recurrence.

Common warts usually develop on the hands, fingers, elbows, and knees.
They typically appear as:
Rough, raised bumps
Skin-coloured or grey lesions
Small black dots (tiny blood vessels)
Firm, cauliflower-like texture
Plantar warts develop on the soles of the feet.
Unlike common warts, they grow inward because of body weight, making walking uncomfortable.
Symptoms include:
Pain while walking
Thickened skin
Black pinpoint dots
Lesions that resemble corns
Many patients mistakenly think plantar warts are corns, but treatment is different.
Flat warts are:
Smaller than common warts
Smooth
Slightly raised
Often appear in groups
Common locations include:
Face
Neck
Forehead
Arms
Legs
Filiform warts are long, narrow, finger-like growths.
They commonly occur around:
Eyes
Nose
Mouth
Beard area
Chin
Because these areas are cosmetically sensitive, precise treatment is important.
These occur around the fingernails and toenails.
If untreated, they may:
Distort nail growth
Cause pain
Crack and bleed
Become increasingly difficult to remove
Certain HPV strains can cause genital warts around the vulva.
These differ from common skin warts and require proper medical assessment to determine the most appropriate management.
Warts develop when the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) enters the skin through tiny cuts or abrasions.
You are more likely to develop warts if you:
Frequently visit swimming pools or gyms
Walk barefoot in public showers
Bite your nails
Have eczema or broken skin
Have a weakened immune system
Share towels, shoes, or nail clippers
HPV can survive on surfaces, making it possible to spread through indirect contact.
Yes.
Warts can spread through:
Direct skin-to-skin contact
Picking or scratching existing warts
Sharing towels
Sharing socks or shoes
Public swimming pools
Gym changing rooms
Public showers
Treating warts early helps reduce the risk of spreading them to yourself or others.
Medical treatment is recommended if your wart:
Is painful
Continues growing
Is spreading
Bleeds easily
Affects walking
Causes cosmetic concern
Has not responded to over-the-counter treatment
Appears around the face or nails
Early treatment is often easier and may reduce the risk of recurrence.

Previous wart treatments
During your consultation, our doctor will explain the advantages and limitations of each option before recommending a personalized treatment plan.

"Came here to treat some warts. Removed some with laser (not painful at all), others are still on treatment using cream and acid. It takes quite long, more than two months, so you have to be patient. Price is okay."

Wart removal starts from RM150, depending on the size, number, location, and treatment method.
Most patients describe the treatment as causing only mild discomfort. Local anaesthetic may be used when appropriate.
Most patients require 1–3 sessions, although stubborn or larger warts may require additional treatments.
Professional wart removal combined with proper aftercare usually results in minimal or no noticeable scarring.
Yes. Although the visible wart can be removed, HPV may remain in nearby skin. Following the recommended treatment plan and aftercare helps reduce the risk of recurrence.
Over-the-counter treatments may work for some small warts, but larger, painful, facial, or recurrent warts should be assessed by a doctor to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
The HPV vaccine does not treat existing warts. However, it may help protect against other HPV strains, particularly those associated with genital warts and HPV-related cancers. Our doctor can advise whether vaccination is appropriate for you.
Although it is not always possible to prevent HPV infection, you can reduce your risk by:
Keeping your hands and feet clean and dry
Avoiding sharing towels, shoes, socks, or nail clippers
Wearing slippers in public showers and swimming pools
Covering cuts and broken skin
Avoiding picking at existing warts
Considering HPV vaccination if recommended by your doctor
