What is a Verruca?
A verruca is a type of wart that appears on the soles of the feet, caused by an infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). These growths often have a hard, rough surface and may contain tiny black dots, which are clotted blood vessels. Verrucas can be painful, especially when pressure is applied, making walking or standing uncomfortable.
Common Symptoms of Verrucas
If you suspect you have a verruca, here are some signs to look for:
Raised, rough growths: Often with a circular shape.
Black dots: Caused by blood vessels within the verruca.
Pain or tenderness: Particularly when walking or standing.
Callused skin: Hard skin may develop around the verruca.
Clusters: Sometimes verrucas form in groups, known as mosaic warts.
Recognising these symptoms early is key to managing and treating the condition effectively.
What Treatments Are There?
At our clinic in Batley, we provide a range of effective treatment options tailored to the severity of your verruca and your individual needs:
Cryotherapy: This treatment involves freezing the verruca with liquid nitrogen, destroying the infected tissue. Cryotherapy is quick and effective, often requiring multiple sessions for complete removal.
Swift Microwave Therapy: A cutting-edge approach that uses microwaves to stimulate your immune system and target the virus directly. This non-invasive method offers minimal discomfort and delivers excellent results in fewer sessions.
Acid-Based Treatments: Specialist acids are applied to the verruca to gradually break down the infected tissue. This option is suitable for milder cases and can be combined with other treatments.
Debridement: We carefully remove any thickened or callused skin around the verruca to reduce pressure and aid in the effectiveness of other treatments.
