Treatment
Treatment Available at CityDoc
At CityDoc, our preferred treatment for Genital Warts is a freezing technique, also known as cryotherapy. The cryotherapy that we use is Carnation Footcare Cryospray Verruca & Wart Remover Freeze Spray, whish is Dimethyl Ether.
This produces a mild contained burn to the skin, which will gradually fade, with the result of removing the wart.
Cryotherapy is available a select CityDoc clinics, and the treatment costs £124.
