Verruca Treatment in Glasgow
Verrucae can become painful when they sit under pressure, spread, or keep returning after home treatment. At The Hub Glasgow, we assess the lesion, pressure and treatment history before recommending the right route.
You deserve a clear answer, not more guessing.
At The Hub Glasgow, podiatry, physiotherapy, diagnostics and rehabilitation sit together. That means we can look at the problem properly and guide you to the right next step.
Real people, real assessment and a plan that makes sense before you leave.
The Hub has been helping people move better since 1999. Our clinic pages are here to help you understand the likely routes, not self-diagnose. If something is painful, recurring, unclear or stopping you moving well, we want you assessed properly and pointed to the right care.
This is not basic foot care. It is specialist-level clinical reasoning.
The Hub Glasgow brings podiatry, MSK assessment, in-house diagnostic ultrasound, gait thinking and rehabilitation together. That is useful when symptoms are painful, recurring, unclear or stopping you from walking, running, training or working comfortably.
What it can feel like
A verruca may feel like a sharp stone under the foot, become painful in shoes, develop overlying hard skin, spread to other areas or keep coming back.
Common causes
- Verruca tissue under pressure
- Callus over the lesion
- High-load areas of the foot
- Previous incomplete resolution
- Skin irritation from repeated home treatments
How we assess it
Assessment checks whether the lesion is consistent with a verruca, how much pressure is sitting over it, what treatment has already been tried and whether Swift microwave therapy or another podiatry route is suitable.
Treatment options
- Verruca assessment
- Callus reduction where appropriate
- Swift microwave therapy discussion
- Pressure offloading advice
- Review planning
Questions people often ask
When should I get a verruca treated?
Get help if it is painful, spreading, recurring, affecting walking or not responding to sensible home treatment.
What is Swift verruca treatment?
Swift is a microwave-based verruca treatment used by podiatrists for selected cases. Suitability depends on the lesion and your health history.
Can verrucae be mistaken for corns?
Yes. Painful pressure lesions can look similar, so assessment matters before choosing treatment.
