Professional Care for Stubborn Verrucas
Effective solutions to remove verrucas and restore comfort
Verrucas are a common viral skin infection that can cause discomfort, pain, and embarrassment. At Peach Podiatry, we specialise in verruca needling—a proven technique designed to target stubborn or recurring verrucas that do not respond to standard treatments.
What is a Verruca?
Understanding the condition
Verrucas are warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) that appear on the soles of the feet. They often present as rough, raised lesions and may contain small black dots (clotted blood vessels). Verrucas can be painful, particularly when located on weight-bearing areas of the foot.
How Verruca Needling Works
Verruca needling is carried out under local anaesthetic to ensure the procedure is pain-free. A fine needle is used to puncture the verruca multiple times, pushing viral particles deeper into the skin where the body’s immune system can recognise and fight the virus more effectively. This encourages the verruca to resolve naturally over time.
What to Expect During Treatment
Comfort-focused, professional care
The procedure typically takes around one hour. After the local anaesthetic is administered, the needling process itself is straightforward. Following treatment, a dressing is applied, and you’ll receive clear aftercare instructions. Two follow-up appointments are included to monitor healing and results.
