Flat warts - is laser best to remove with no scar? (Photo)

T
TexasMissKateFeb 17, 2018

PI noticed that underneath my right eye, pretty much sitting on the skin above the periorbital bone, I think I have a flat wart. I have been using some homeopathic remedies and it has reduced the size about 35%. But I'd really like to go to an oculofacial plastic surgeon or dermatology specialist to get this removed. And naturally, since it's in such a visible area, I don't want the treatment to leave a scar. What is the best method to remove this cleanly? Is laser best? Or shaving it off? Help!
