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
Questions people often ask
Do all verrucae need treatment?
No. Some verrucae settle without treatment. Treatment is usually considered when they are painful, spreading, persistent or affecting activity.
Is every hard painful spot a verruca?
No. Corns, callus and other skin lesions can feel similar, so assessment matters before choosing treatment.
