     Verrucas and Warts


Verrucae and warts are caused by viruses. They are usually contagious and caught in areas where there are many people walking around without any shoes on - e.g. swimming pools, public changing rooms and dance studios. They can be painful, though this is not usually the case.

You should always have a verruca checked over by a professional, before having any treatment. As there are many different treatments (each with their own advantages and disadvantages), it is important that we decide on a treatment plan suitable for you.

The first appointment will last approximately 30 minutes. Your feet will be assessed and the verruca treatments started.You will then usually be required to return for a series of treatments :- the number of treatments is dependent on your particular verruca.
