Verrucae (Plantar Warts) Treatment

Verrucae are stubborn and often painful viral skin lesions that appear on the soles of the feet, making walking uncomfortable and posing a risk of spreading to others. I provide safe, professional, and targeted verrucae treatment in the comfort of your home, designed to stimulate your body’s natural immunity and effectively clear the virus.

What Are Verrucae?

Verrucae (plantar warts) are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) and often develop when the virus enters the skin through small cuts or weak spots. They are commonly picked up in warm, moist communal areas, such as swimming pools, gyms, or changing rooms.

Verrucae typically appear as small, rough, grainy lesions, sometimes with tiny black dots (representing small blood vessels). They can feel painful or tender when walking due to the pressure they place on weight-bearing areas of the foot.

Why Treatment Is Important

Verrucae rarely clear quickly on their own and may persist for months or years. Without professional care, they can become increasingly uncomfortable and have a high risk of spreading to other areas of your foot or to family members.

Professional treatment focuses on gently removing any overlying hard skin and using targeted therapies to stimulate the immune system, helping you clear the virus safely and effectively.

My Verrucae Treatment Options

Professional care helps speed up healing, reduce discomfort, and lower the risk of spreading the infection. After gently removing any hard skin, I offer evidence-based treatments designed to target the virus:

Caustic Therapies: Specialist acid applications such as Salicylic Acid or Verrutop.
Cryotherapy: Freezing techniques to destroy the wart tissue.
Home Care Guidance: Advice to boost treatment results between visits.

A structured treatment programme, often involving regular visits, may be required for caustic therapies or cryotherapy.

Specialist Treatment – Verrutop

Verrutop is a highly effective, professional-only topical treatment ideal for stubborn verrucae.

How It Works: Contains nitric acid blended with organic acids and zinc and copper salts to break down wart tissue safely while protecting surrounding healthy skin.
Treatment Schedule: Applied every 10–14 days for up to six sessions; most patients see clearance after around four treatments.
Home Care: Daily application of surgical spirit between appointments improves results.
Suitability: Safe for adults and children over six years old.
Comfort: A brief tingling sensation may occur during application but usually subsides within seconds.

I will discuss the most suitable treatment option for your needs and lifestyle to ensure safe and effective results.
