is plantar wart removal surgery painful?

it doesnt hurt cause your numb, but the sore left afterwards is more of a pain in the butt. No matter what-it will feel better than the wart- those things hurt

Actually the previous answer has some truth. Some people are longer healers. You need to be clear and discuss you pain issues with your Physician. You need to tell you Dr. what you are feeling and be honest in whether or not you properly and completely followed each and every post operative instruction that was given to you. I.E. if you were walking more than you should have at a time earlier than specified, this can cause added pain and healing time.\n\nDid you happen to go to a Podiatric Surgeon. If not perhaps you should look into finding one as they are very skilled and trained in the foot.

It's not bad at all. It is kinda painful depending where you get it. I have 2 on my back; 1 lower and 1 upper. They didn't hurt that much at all. After your done it feels like a carpet burn!

as the lady said on bikini line its ingrowers. if they are around the hole lips etc and are not painful but slightly irritable then they are more than likely warts. although called warts they dont always look like warts you get on your hand.\ni had them and they were just little bumps, they were not big enough to have burnt off ( which is sometimes the case) the doc just painted them i left them for a week then used a cream for 3 days now they are gone. once you have them once they could easily come back but also may never come back. most people carry the infection but they do not always come out

It hurts for a second while they're pulling them out, but once the doc is done, it goes away.\n\nI've always thought they were more uncomfortable while they were in!

The dentist or oral surgeon will numb you to make sure you do not feel anything.  Then the doc will expose the tori bone and shave it down with a drill.  He will then stitch the tissue closed and you will heal for a period of time.  Removing tori is not usually indicated unless a patient is getting a partial or a denture.  I don't know how painful the surgery is afterward as I have never had it done, but I can't imagine it is any worse then say wisdom tooth extractions.  I had to have mine out in which he stitched closed the sockets and they did not hurt to much.  Uncomfortable for a few days, but I had pain meds for that.  Good luck.

Hi\nI guess it depends on the individual.\nMy Mother started with a sore toe on Christmas eve & by new years eve it was turning black & purple & smelled awful so new years day the vascular surgeon removed her big toe.\n\nShe is still having the district nurse in to clean & dress it 3 months on.\nOn a positive note...... Her toe is healing well & it has started to close up nicely. no secondary infections etc.\n\nDiabetes is a nasty condition if you dont keep it under control\n\nGood luck

My dad is a colo-rectal surgeon and made me work there 5 years. I'm not in the medical field and you should see your Dr. On fridays, b 4 freezing, we had wart-burning day and it stank. No, I'm not kidding. A genital wart usually looks like a tiny cauliflower and doesn't have pus in it like a pimple does. Also, it is harder. It comes off in one piece, like a wart and unlike pimple if the patient tries to dig it out themselves. You asked!!!!

The actual procedure is done under local anesthesia.  Doctors usually prescribe some form of mild painkiller for the first few days to address the soreness.  The bruising from the non-intrusive surgery takes about 2 weeks to heal and the actual swelling around the area is all gone in about 3 weeks.  Its a little less in younger guys (teens/early 20s).\n\nIs it worth it?  It's different for everyone.  Some do it for religious reasons, some for medical and some of aesthetics.  If one is forced to do this procedure there is a likelihood that there may sometimes be a mental resistance to it.  But, I know most people usually end up feeling good about it because they have experienced both before and after and see that there is nothing wrong with being circumcised and often the advantages outweigh the cost of the procedure (time, money, soreness and post circumcision lifestyle adjustments).\n\nSo if you are motivated, go ahead.

Go to the doctor, he/she will freeze them.  Or...they now sell at the drug store a kit so you can freeze them yourself.\nBeing that it is on your foot it is probably a plantars wart.  They have deep roots and cutting them off doesn't work.

i understand how you feel as I too hate injections. I have had 3 moles removed and it was quite pain free. My doctor sprayed the area he was going to inject and I never even felt the needle. After that I was home free as for me too the injection is the worst part. Rest assured its not anywhere as bad as you think it is. good luck

Over-the-counter medications contain chemicals that destroy skin cells (e.g., acid) and may damage healthy tissue surrounding the wart. Self-treatment for plantar warts using an over-the-counter preparation is not recommended. \nIn some cases, podiatrists apply mild acid (e.g., salicylic acid, cantharidin, dichloroacetic acid) topically to treat plantar warts. This treatment, which often requires multiple applications over the course of several weeks, disintegrates viral cells and allows healthy skin cells to replace them. \nLaser treatments (e.g., CO2 laser cautery) can be used to treat plantar warts. Laser treatment is performed in a podiatrists office or an outpatient surgery facility using local anesthesia. Lasers produce little scarring and are effective in most cases. Cryotherapy involves freezing warts with a very cold solution (e.g., sodium nitride) that destroys the virus and causes the wart to turn black and fall off within a few days. This treatment is ineffective in some cases when the solution does not penetrate far enough to completely destroy the virus. Surgical removal (called debridement) usually is not recommended to treat plantar warts because it can cause painful scarring. Generally, this procedure is used to remove several small warts in a limited area. Debridement is performed using anesthesia and can be used with acid to destroy the virus and prevent the warts from regrowing.

Duct tape man..\n\nI just had 2, a plantar wart and one on my finger. I used the band-aids with the medicne on them. Compound W works for a while. Then the really inexpensive ones work really well if they are almost gone. Try the OTC kinds of medicnes.\n\n:)\nteddybearthejedi

Best to see an ortho-pedic surgeon.  They can go in and shave it off if they think its appropriate.  I'd get a couple of opinions if you have the time.

Medical science offers several invasive and potentially painful methods of removing warts. Electrocautery removes warts on the body by burning them with a low-voltage electrified probe. \n\n    Cryotherapy involves freezing the warts off with super-cold temperatures. And, of course, there’s always traditional surgery. Just have them cut off. \n\n    Of course, if you have extensive scarring from any of these procedures, you could be permanently disfigured. These treatments are certainly risky, not to mention expensive. And there’s no guarantee the warts won’t just grow back
