Verruca/Verrucae are caused by a virus. They are warts that commonly occur on the soles of the feet or around the toe area caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). HPV is highly contagious through direct person to person contact and usually occurs after being barefoot in communal changing rooms.

In children, verrucae can resolve themselves over time. Adults, however, that have had a verruca for over 6 months are less likely to have them go on their own without treatment.



In our practice we use treatments with a knowledge and scientific basis to treat your verruca. We can use acids or cryotherapy to help resolve your verruca or we can needle and debride the area.

However, the best treatment in clinical tests is Swift Therapy. Swift is a treatment using microwaves to destroy the verruca virus in the skin by instigating an immune reaction.

For smaller verrucae, surgical excision is now available with our extended scope podiatrist trained in skin surgery. Excision is particularly helpful to fully remove very stubborn verrucae if other treatments have been exhausted.

To book and let us assess and begin treating your verruca, book for an Initial Assessment if you have a few issues or if it's just a verruca, a Verruca Appointment.
