Effective Verruca Removal for Stubborn Verrucas
What Is a Verruca?
A verruca is a type of wart that develops on the sole of the foot and is caused by the human papillomavirus. They often appear as rough areas of skin and can become painful when pressure is applied through walking or standing. Verrucas can persist for long periods of time, particularly if the underlying infected tissue is not fully treated.
Why Consider Verruca Removal?
Verrucas do not always resolve on their own and can become increasingly uncomfortable over time. Many people choose treatment when walking becomes painful or when the verruca continues to persist despite repeated attempts to treat it. Professional removal offers a more direct and effective approach, helping to reduce discomfort and improve overall skin condition.
Verruca Removal
Verruca removal is carried out using precise treatment methods designed to target the affected tissue while minimising disruption to the surrounding skin.
A controlled application of shortwave diathermy produces heat that treats the verruca at its source, helping to break down the infected tissue. This approach allows for accurate treatment of stubborn verrucas that have not responded to over-the-counter solutions.
The procedure is quick and controlled, with minimal discomfort. A small area of healing may form following treatment, which typically settles over time, allowing the skin to recover naturally.
