Verruca Treatment in Glasgow

Verrucae can be stubborn, painful and annoying, especially when they sit under a weight-bearing part of the foot. At The Hub Glasgow, our podiatry team can assess the lesion, explain your options and help you choose a sensible treatment route.

What it can feel like

A verruca may feel like a small hard area, a painful spot under pressure, or a lesion with tiny dark dots. Some settle on their own, while others persist or spread.

Common causes

• Human papillomavirus affecting the skin
• Pressure over the lesion
• Reduced skin barrier
• Repeated exposure in shared wet areas

How we assess it

Podiatry assessment checks whether the lesion is likely to be a verruca, whether anything else may be mimicking it, and which treatment options are appropriate.

Treatment options

• Debridement for pressure relief
• Topical treatment advice
• Swift microwave therapy where suitable
• Needling where clinically appropriate
• Footwear and skin care advice
