Diseases & Conditions

Warts are small, usually painless growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are benign, contagious, and can appear on various parts of the body, including the hands, feet, face, and genitals. Treatment options vary depending on the type and location of the wart and may include topical medications, cryotherapy, or surgical removal.

Wet age-related macular degeneration (WMD) is a serious eye condition affecting the central part of the retina, known as the macula. It is characterised by the growth of abnormal blood vessels beneath the retina. This leads to fluid and blood leakage, causing damage and scarring to the macula. Wet AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults, typically occurring in people over the age of 50. Treatment options like anti-VEGF injections, can help slow disease progression and preserve vision.
