Sometimes the best verruca treatment means visiting a podiatrist. There are many over the counter treatments for verrucae, but unfortunately sometimes the verruca remains. If this happens it’s best to seek professional Podiatry advice (the NHS does not treat verruca). Waverley Foot Clinic Farnham treats verruca infections every week. From children to adults verruca treatment can eradicate the problem. As the verruca is a virus it usually takes between 3 and 4 treatments to see the end to the infection. We also offer long term advice to reduce the risk of picking up another infection.
Verrucae are actually caused by the HPV virus (Human Papillomavirus) and can be spread to others through contact with surfaces that may have been contaminated.
The verruca HPV virus can contaminate a floor surface, only to be picked up by another person as they walk by. For example, hotel bathrooms, gyms, showers, or even buying shoes barefoot. Children are potentially at risk as they change together several times each week for sport etc, but any age can be infected.
Getting the best verruca treatment means visiting a podiatrist. There are many over the counter treatments for verrucae, but it is best to seek professional medical advice when dealing with the verruca foot disease treatment to ensure that it is treated properly, so you don’t pass it on to others!
We often see patients that have tried all of the creams and treatments available over the counter and not had any luck with them. The NHS doesn’t treat verrucas, but we have many options available to you that are not available over the counter or from pharmacists, including much stronger creams.
We can discuss any of these options at your appointment and will help you decide which verruca foot infection treatment is the best removal treatment for you.
