Verruca Treatment

What are Verrucas? 

Small bumpy growths on the feet or hands, often with black dots on the surface, are caused by a virus that invades the skin through tiny cuts or scrapes. 

Verrucas on the feet can become painful when they are in weight-bearing areas and they can be difficult to treat with over the counter treatments often failing. 

What’s involved?

• We take time to understand your existing medical conditions and medication, we’ll also undertake a diabetic suitability review.
• We’ll discuss any questions or concerns you have about potential treatments
• We will undertake a neuro-vascular assessment to measure sensation and circulation in order for us to be best informed to advise you on potential treatment options.
• We’ll take a good look at your feet and undertake a full inspection for you.
