What is Verruca Removal?

Plantar warts

What does a verruca removal treatment do?

A verruca, or plantar wart, is a small, bumpy, wart-like growth on the sole of the foot that contains tiny blood vessels in its center. It is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). While generally harmless, it can be quite annoying and cause significant discomfort, particularly when walking or standing on it.

Verruca treatments aim to eliminate the plantar wart and alleviate any pain associated with it. Treatment methods may include freezing the wart off, using lasers, or applying specific acids to remove the verruca. The goal is to safely remove the wart, ease any discomfort it causes, and prevent its spread.

Several benefits include:

  • Clear skin
  • Increased comfort
  • Reduced spread
  • Boosted confidence

Ways to Treat Verruca

These are various ways of getting rid of a verruca and other types of warts, such as common, flat, and genital warts, effectively:

Salicylic Acid

This treatment is available at pharmacies in the form of topical applications like creams, gels, or plasters that will slowly destroy the skin of the verruca.

Cryotherapy

This method destroys the skin cells of the verruca by freezing it with liquid nitrogen.

Chemical Treatments

These treatments use special chemicals to gradually destroy the infected skin cells.

Laser Removal

Laser therapy for verruca wart removal is an option that targets the small blood supply to the wart, effectively killing the human papillomavirus (HPV).

Surgical Excision

In some cases, a doctor may remove the wart by cutting or shaving it off with a scalpel. This method can completely remove the wart.

The Journey

Consultation

It is preferable to begin with a consultation in which expectations regarding the procedure, necessary preparations, and actions to be taken prior to, during, and following the surgery are established.

The Verruca Removal Procedure

Process of removing verruca.

How does verrucae removal work?

Verrucae removal involves treating the infected skin where the verruca has formed. Several treatment options are available, typically involving salicylic acid to encourage peeling of the skin layers, or cryotherapy, where the verruca is frozen with liquid nitrogen to destroy the infected cells. A chemical that dissolves the verruca may also be used. Other options include laser removal and surgical excision, where a scalpel is used to shave and remove the wart. Once the infected skin is shed from the treatment site, fresh skin can regrow.

Duration of the treatment.

How long does the verruca removal treatment take?

The verruca removal treatment is typically performed in a single visit lasting about 60 minutes. The time taken for removal varies depending on the size, location, and method used.

Our methods leave a little scarring.

Will there be scarring?

If the verruca is removed surgically, it may be performed under local anesthesia, and there is a possibility of scarring if the verruca is large or deep. However, the amount of scarring can vary with each treatment and also depends on your individual healing process.

Personalized treatment plan.

How many treatments will I need?

Some verrucas can be stubborn and may return after treatment. While some may self-resolve, it can sometimes take multiple treatments to completely clear them up.

Managing pain and discomfort.

Is verruca wart treatment painful?

The level of pain associated with verruca wart treatment varies depending on the technique used and the depth of the verruca tissue. While it may be somewhat painful, the discomfort is generally manageable.

Am I suitable?

Who is the ideal candidate?

The best candidate for verruca excision is someone who has an uncomfortable verruca that does not heal, experiences pain while performing normal walking activities, or feels self-conscious about the appearance of the wart. Here at Harley Street Skin Clinic, individuals who are anxious about spreading the virus to others or to other parts of their body, as well as those with a weak immune system or recurrent verrucas, can seek professional wart treatments.

What are the risks?

Can a risk be prevented?

The verruca removal procedure is relatively safe, but some risks are involved:

  • Infection: There is a risk of infection due to skin lesions that may develop during treatment, making diligent aftercare essential.
  • Scarring: Scarring can occur, especially with surgical excision, depending on the healing properties of one's skin.
  • Skin Tone Changes: You may notice a difference in skin tone in the treated area, with some areas appearing lighter or darker; however, these changes are usually temporary.
  • Pain: Some treatments, including cryotherapy, may be painful during and after the procedure.
  • Allergic Reactions: Allergies may cause mild itching; more severe effects can occur with allergies to local anesthetic or medications, so it's important to inform your doctor.
  • Numbness or Tingling: Due to nerve irritation, you may experience numbness or tingling, which is usually temporary and will subside as the nerves recover.
  • Recurrence: If the virus causing the verrucas is still present in your skin, it is likely that these wart-like lumps will recur and may require multiple treatments.
