Verrucas are warts that appear on the soles of the feet, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Because they are under pressure when you stand or walk, they often feel like a painful stone and may have a rough surface with small black dots inside.

How do verrucas spread?

Verrucas spread through direct skin contact or via contaminated surfaces such as swimming pool floors, showers and changing rooms. Walking barefoot, sharing towels, socks or shoes and small cuts in the skin can increase the risk of catching or spreading the virus.

What are the best treatments for verrucas?

Treatments can include over-the-counter salicylic acid preparations, cryotherapy (freezing), laser therapy and RF cautery. At DSL Clinic, verruca removal typically involves laser, cryotherapy or RF cauterisation, chosen according to the depth, size and number of verrucas for the most effective result.

Is verruca removal painful?

Most patients tolerate verruca removal well. Numbing cream or local anaesthetic is used when needed, so you may feel only mild pressure, warmth or a brief stinging sensation. Some tenderness when walking on the treated area is normal for a few days afterwards but usually settles quickly.

How many sessions will I need?

Some verrucas clear with a single treatment, especially if they are shallow and small. Deeper, larger or multiple verrucas may require 1–2 or more sessions. Your practitioner will advise a tailored plan during your consultation based on how your verruca responds.

Can verrucas come back after treatment?

Once a verruca has been fully destroyed and the skin has healed, that particular lesion usually does not come back. However, because HPV can remain in the skin or be recontacted from surfaces, new verrucas can appear in the future. Good foot hygiene and avoiding barefoot walking in communal areas help reduce this risk.
