Verrucae are warts that commonly occur on the soles of the feet or around the toes, caused by the human papillomavirus. The virus is thought to thrive in moist, damp environments such as swimming pools and communal shower areas.
Verrucae are harmless but can become painful if they develop on a weight-bearing area of the foot. Evidence suggests that verrucae will disappear on their own accord within six months for children, and up to two years for adults, however, this isn’t always the case.

For recently formed verrucae, we may discuss the use of chemical-based treatments, which can be both highly effective and self-limiting, meaning if treatment is painful you are in control to stop it worsening.
For stubborn verrucae, we have a range treatments, Cryotherapy and Falkner Needling Technique, all of which are highly effective.
