Verrucae Treatment

Say Goodbye to Verrucae (Plantar Warts) with Expert Care

Verrucae, commonly known as plantar warts, are small, painful growths that typically appear on the soles of the feet. These warts are caused by a viral infection from the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can make walking or standing uncomfortable. At Walk This Way Podiatry, we specialize in the effective treatment of verrucae, using modern techniques to restore the health and comfort of your feet.

What Are Verrucae?

Verrucae are contagious warts that usually develop on weight-bearing areas of the feet, such as the heel or ball. They can sometimes appear as a single wart or cluster together to form what is known as a mosaic wart. Verrucae often have a rough texture with tiny black dots, which are actually blood vessels that supply the wart. These growths can become painful, especially when pressure is applied while walking.
