What Causes Warts & Verrucae?

Warts and verrucas are caused by a viral infection, specifically the human papillomavirus (HPV), which leads to abnormal skin cell growth. Warts typically appear on the hands, feet, or other parts of the body, while verrucas form on the soles of the feet. They are highly contagious and spread through direct skin-to-skin contact or by touching contaminated surfaces, such as public swimming pools or gym floors. Treatments for warts and verrucas may include cryotherapy, laser removal, or topical treatments like salicylic acid. It is essential to consult a medical professional for appropriate care to avoid spreading the infection.

How Can A Wart or Verruca Be Treated?

Warts and verrucas can be treated effectively with cryotherapy treatment, which targets and destroys the tissue growth. For minor warts, topical treatments might also be recommended, but more stubborn cases may require the precision of laser removal, ensuring the area heals smoothly.
