Treatment for a verruca at Body Zest- Banstead

At Body Zest, we understand that a verruca can be a painful and uncomfortable foot condition.

Also known as a plantar wart, a verruca is a small, rough growth that typically appears on the sole of the foot. This condition is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and is highly contagious.

Who is at risk of developing a verruca?

People who have weakened immune systems, walk barefoot in public places like pools or changing rooms, or have cuts or abrasions on their feet are more susceptible to getting a verruca. Additionally, individuals with a history of verrucae or other HPV-related conditions are at a higher risk of developing this condition.

How can a podiatrist help treat a verruca at Body Zest- Banstead?

At our clinic, we have experienced podiatrists who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. The first step in treating a verruca is taking a medical history and examining the foot.

Once a verruca has been diagnosed, our podiatrists can recommend a range of treatment options. This may include using topical treatments, freezing the verruca using cryotherapy, dry needling or Swift Microwave Therapy. All of these options can be done on-site at Body Zest- Banstead.
