Will flat warts recur after laser treatment?

Flat warts are a very common skin disease. Many patients with flat warts want to cure the disease, because if not treated, not only will the disease continue to worsen, but it will also cause inconvenience to the patient's daily life. There are many ways to treat flat warts, including taking medications, applying ointments, or laser removal. Some patients want to know if flat warts will recur after laser treatment? We can all learn about it together.

1. Flat warts are prone to recurrence, which causes distress to many patients. Here we will introduce to you the treatment methods for recurring flat warts.

(1) External ointments: Elemental warts, tretinoin cream, peptide butylamine ointment, etc. contain hormone ingredients, and long-term use is quite harmful to the human body. It is recommended not to use it, or use it less.

(2) Oral medication: Since the drug is absorbed from the internal organs to the skin after being taken orally, the drug loses its potency and does not kill the virus directly, so the effect is not ideal. In addition, it must be taken continuously for dozens of days, which is difficult for most people to persist.

(3) Laser removal: Since the flat wart virus is under the epidermis, the laser can only remove the flat wart particles on the surface, but not the subcutaneous virus, so it is impossible to play a fundamental therapeutic role. Often, flat warts will reappear after a few months.

(4) Injection of hormone transfer factor: Western medicine mainly treats flat warts by injecting transfer factor and other hormones to improve the body's immune function. Since this indirect treatment cannot directly kill the flat wart virus, the cure rate is also very low, especially for some older people.

2. Precautions for laser treatment of flat warts:

1) Laser treatment may make flat warts disappear or reduce in one or more times.

2) Laser treatment is performed superficially and is generally very safe.

3) Pigment changes may occur in the short term after laser treatment, but may disappear after a few months.

4) In principle, scrubbing is not recommended within two weeks of treatment.

5) Friends who recover through laser treatment should pay attention to their diet and lifestyle habits and make adjustments.

3. In addition, there are two situations that require special attention:

① Patients with scar-prone constitution should be cautious when undergoing laser treatment.

② If the patient's pigmentation spots are caused by endocrine factors, such patients need to combine other treatments, adjust endocrine disorders, use fading drugs, take larger doses of vitamin C, eat more fruits on a daily basis, etc. After a period of time, most skin tissue can return to normal, superficial scars can be smoothed out, and pigmentation spots can fade.
