Have you noticed a verruca on your foot that just won’t go away? Perhaps it has become uncomfortable when walking, is affecting your daily activities, or you have tried treating it yourself without success.
Verrucas are common foot problems, but that doesn’t mean you have to keep putting up with them.
At Widnes Chiropody by Arco Healthcare Clinic, we provide professional chiropody treatment and advice to help you understand your verruca and explore appropriate treatment options.
What Is a Verruca?
A verruca is a small skin growth that commonly develops on the soles of the feet. It is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can sometimes appear as a rough, hard area of skin.
Verrucas may develop on the heel, ball of the foot or toes. Some are painless, while others can become uncomfortable when pressure is placed on them during walking or standing.
You may notice:
- A small, rough area of skin on the foot
- Tiny dark dots within the verruca
- Discomfort when walking or putting pressure on the affected area
- A verruca that appears to be growing or spreading
When Should You Consider Verruca Treatment?
Although some verrucas disappear naturally, others can remain for months or longer.
You may want to consider professional chiropody advice if your verruca is becoming uncomfortable, affecting your movement, changing in appearance or proving difficult to manage at home.
Trying different treatments without knowing whether they are suitable for your particular verruca can also be frustrating.
A professional assessment can help you understand the condition of your foot and discuss the options available.
