Verruca Treatment Edinburgh

Personalised Verruca Treatment

One of the most common treatments we offer at Active Feet is verruca treatment. A verruca is a plantar wart that is most frequently found on the soles of the feet or in the toe area. They are most common in but are not limited to children and young adults and can be passed on simply by walking barefoot across the same surface as someone with a verruca. The virus that causes a verruca is harmless with the only issue being when the wart itself begins causing pain or discomfort. This typically only occurs when the verruca is located on a weight bearing area of the foot, but many people opt for verruca removal regardless of this to eliminate the chance of growth or spread and because they can be unsightly.

Is Swift Verruca Treatment Painful?

Like many treatments for skin lesions, some minor discomfort may be experienced. Before treatment your podiatrist may decide to reduce the lesion with a blade. Pain levels vary from person to person but most people undergoing Swift liken it to a pain similar to an injection or a scratch, lasting 2 – 3 seconds then quickly subsiding.

How Many Swift Verruca Treatments Will I Require?

This is dependent on how you respond to treatment. In most cases, you may need more than one treatment 3 to 4 weeks apart depending on your body’s response. Your Podiatrist will discuss this with you at your appointment.
