Verruca Vulgaris or wart is a common skin disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Warts are usually located on fingers, hands, elbows and feet. Anogenital region is an uncommon location for warts. Three children with large perianal warts were treated by holmium: Yttrium Aliminum Garnet (Ho-YAG) laser. No recurrences or significant complications were seen in 2 years of follow up period. Ho-YAG Laser was successfully applied in the treatment of pediatric perianal warts. It is a safe and effective method.
