What are Verrucas?

Small bumpy growths on the feet or hands, often with black dots on the surface, are caused by a virus that invades the skin through tiny cuts or scrapes.

Verrucas on the feet can become painful when they are in weight-bearing areas and they can be difficult to treat with over the counter treatments often failing.

What’s involved?

• We take time to understand your existing medical conditions and medication, we’ll also undertake a diabetic suitability review.
