    If you have health insurance it is fully covered with gp

    Is there nobody who knows of a GP who will carry out the procedure - its called cryotherapy and it involves freezing them. It is practically the same as wart removal. A trip to a dermatologist without health insurance will likely cost a fortune - the bon secours emailed me charging over a 1000 eur for this procedure.

    I had one frozen with my GP recently, took five minutes and was charged the normal appointment rate. Maybe call ahead and check your GP or nurse offers the service.

    Thanks - I get the impression that a few GPs do but my one doesn't. So need to find a GP that will. Anyone?

    Most GPs won't take on what they see as 'new patients' even for a single transaction like this. Your GP is going to know another GP who does it and would be more willing to take it is a single referral.

    Having supplied GP surgeries I'd say about a third have the dry ice bowsers for doing cryotherapy.

    Thanks for all the advice. I'll see how it goes. Possibly the GP referral to another GP will be best
