Verucca Treatment

Verucca treatment services focus on the diagnosis and treatment of verrucas (plantar warts). Verrucas are small, rough, and often painful growths that develop on the soles of the feet, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). These growths can spread through direct contact or from walking barefoot in communal areas, like swimming pools or locker rooms.

What does it Help Treat & What to Expect?

Verruca treatment services help treat painful or stubborn plantar warts on the feet, offering options such as topical treatments, with sessions typically involving non to mild discomfort and gradual healing over several weeks.

  • Verrucas (Plantar Warts): The primary condition treated, typically located on weight-bearing areas of the feet.
  • Pain and Discomfort: Verrucas can cause pain, particularly when walking or standing.
  • Cosmetic Concerns: If the verrucas are unsightly or cause embarrassment.
  • Prevention of Spread: To prevent the virus from spreading to other areas of the foot, to other people, or worsening in size or number.
Initial Assessment:
  • A professional, such as a podiatrist or dermatologist, will examine the verruca and discuss treatment options based on severity, location, and your preferences.
  • Depending on the method chosen, treatments may take several weeks to months.
  • Instructions may include keeping the treated area clean, avoiding walking barefoot in communal spaces, and using prescribed creams.
  • It can take a few weeks for the verruca to fully disappear and the skin to heal.

Our method involves applying a specialised acid solution to soften and gradually remove the verruca tissue.
