Warts and Verrucas
Verrucas, or Verrucae, are a specific type of wart that occurs on the soles of the feet (plantar warts) or around the toes. They are often flat or slightly raised and may have a rough surface with tiny black dots (clotted blood vessels). Verrucas can be painful, especially when walking or standing, due to pressure on the feet.
Both warts and verrucas are contagious and can spread through direct skin-to-skin contact or indirectly through contact with contaminated surfaces, such as floors in public places like swimming pools or locker rooms.
These can be treated by cryotherapy (freezing) using liquid nitrogen. In certain patients they may require a small surgical procedure.
Prices for removal are discussed during you pre-operative consultation which is £75. Cryotherapy is from £120.
