At Wandsworth Physiotherapy & Osteopathy, we understand the discomfort and inconvenience that verrucas can cause. Our experienced podiatrist, Jack Lidyard, offers effective treatments to help you achieve healthy, pain-free feet.
Verrucas are warts that appear on the soles of the feet, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They often present as small, rough growths with tiny black dots at their centre and can be painful, especially when pressure is applied. Verrucas are contagious and can spread through direct skin contact or via contaminated surfaces, such as swimming pools and communal showers.
Jack provides Verruca needling, which is a specialised treatment for persistent or stubborn verrucae. It involves the use of a fine, sterile needle to puncture the verruca multiple times, targeting the infected tissue. This process stimulates the body’s immune system to recognise and attack the virus (human papillomavirus or HPV) responsible for the verruca.
After the procedure, the area may feel tender for a few days. A dressing is applied to protect the site, and follow-up appointments may be recommended to monitor progress.
Verruca needling is an excellent option for individuals struggling with long-standing verrucas. Consult a trained podiatrist to determine if this treatment is right for you.
Topical Treatments: Application of medicated solutions to gradually remove the verruca.
