Cheshire Foot Clinic

Our Podiatrists offer a variety of treatments for verruca

A verruca is a type of viral wart that we commonly encounter. There are several types of verrucae and a multitude of treatments offered by pharmacies and clinics. Though some treatments are more successful than others. Because a verruca is caused by a virus, no treatment can be guaranteed to resolve it. Over the counter treatments can cause damage to healthy skin so it is sensible to seek advice before treating your verrucae at home.

At Cheshire Foot Clinic our Podiatrists offer a variety of treatment options for verrucae. At your assessment, our Podiatrist will examine your verruca and find out more about your medical history. They will outline the options available and help you to decide which would work best for you.

Our verruca treatment options are as follows:

  • When the verruca isn’t painful or spreading some patients choose to watch and wait, to see if the verruca will resolve on it’s own.
  • Other patients choose to attend regularly for sharp debridement of the hard skin that can develop overlying the verruca and this can be enough improve their comfort.

Many people want treatment to resolve their verrucae. For those patients we recommend:

  • Swift microwave treatment and
  • Falkner’s needling.

These treatments are both successful and work by stimulating the immune system to resolve the verruca. Please go to our Verruca Treatment page to find out more.
