Warts / Verrucas
Verruca (Wart) Treatment
Verrucas are viral infections that can appear as single warts or in clusters on the foot. These warts typically present with a rough, "cauliflower-like" surface and can cause discomfort, especially when pressure is applied.
-
Verrucas are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and often develop on weight-bearing areas of the foot. The appearance of these warts can be distressing, and they may cause pain when walking or standing. The surrounding skin can become thickened and inflamed as the verruca disrupts the normal skin texture, leading to visible striae (tiny lines) being distorted around the wart.
While no single treatment can guarantee a complete cure, effective management is crucial to alleviate pain, prevent spreading, and improve appearance.
