Summary:

Painful warts on the soles of the feet can interfere with daily life. Our clinic offers effective verrucae treatments tailored to each patient.

Details:

Verrucae are caused by a viral infection (HPV) in the skin of the foot. They can be painful and may spread if untreated. Our podiatrists provide safe, hygienic treatments to remove verrucae and reduce recurrence.

Symptoms:

• Small, rough growths on the sole

• Pain when pressure is applied

• Black dots (clotted blood vessels) in the centre

• Often mistaken for corns or calluses

  
  

Causes:

• HPV infection, often picked up in public places

• Weak immune response

• Micro-traumas to the skin

  
  

Treatment Options:

• Verrutop - This treatment works by chemically desiccating (drying out) the wart tissue rather than freezing or burning it. A Course of 6 treatments 14 days apart is recommended. However, for bigger or multiple chronic verrucae it may take longer.

• Cryotherapy (freezing)

• Other chemical treatments
