Effective, evidence-based treatments for stubborn verruca.
What is a verruca?
A verruca is a wart that develops on the sole of the foot and is caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). They commonly appear on pressure-bearing areas of the foot and may cause pain or discomfort when standing or walking. While some verrucae disappear naturally over time, others can become persistent, spread to other areas of the foot or fail to respond to home treatments. Professional assessment allows us to determine the most effective treatment option based on your individual circumstances. At The Fane Clinic, we use modern, evidence-based treatments to help reduce pain, improve comfort and encourage successful resolution.
