Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter age 21 years recently developed on her nose what a skin specialist after lolling at it said is a common wart. She advised to go for electrosurgery (technical name she wrote is possibly electrofuguration, Inat not be writing it correctly but something similar). What is this method. Is it safe to be applied on top part of nose where the wart exists. Is there no other alternative which is not like this yet equally speedy and effective in removing wart on nose Will the electrode used for passing current to burn/destroy the wart would not harm other healthy tissue/part of nose. Especially is there any danger in this procedure that it may damage to any nerve passing through there. Does the scar left there would heal and go away? Would any skin specialist doctor is well trained to do this procedure, it should I find out one among them who is specialised in this procedure. I will be most grateful for valuable advice of your respected expert doctor from this field.
* As per my surgical experience, the wart over nose needs definite curative therapy and the laser removal is best option available at present with best results.
* There are no ill effects of laser therapy and surrounding structures are also not disturbed as well.
There are no damage to underlying nerves via laser as well. Kindly discuss the further queries with herr treating dermatologist or laser specialist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
