Before a first appointment for a suspected wart, collect information about the lesion and any previous care. This helps you discuss the problem without repeating unsuccessful or irritating attempts.
How should you prepare for your appointment?
👉 Bring the names of any products you use and tell us how long the skin changes have been present. Do not cut them out before your appointment.
Blood tests are not a routine part of preparing for a wart appointment. If a deficiency is suspected, a doctor will select the appropriate tests and any supplementation.
