Verrucae

What are Verrucae?

Verrucae are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus and commonly present near the toes and soles of the feet. They can easily spread through infected surfaces such as gym or pool floors. The virus will penetrate into the skin through micro-trauma such as small cuts or scratches. Verrucae are harmless however they commonly can be painful when callus builds up on the surface and when they are present on weight-bearing areas of the foot.

Verrucae commonly resolve on their own however if they are causing you discomfort physically or psychologically it could be worthwhile to pursue treatment.
