Do I Need Professional Foot Care or Can I Treat It at Home?
Verrucae treatment focuses on managing painful or persistent verrucae on the feet and reducing the risk of spread. At Harbour Foot Clinic, we provide professional verrucae treatment in Westmeath and the Midlands, with care tailored to your comfort and foot health.
The affected area is assessed to confirm the presence of a verruca and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Treatment focuses on reducing the verruca safely while minimising discomfort and protecting surrounding healthy skin.
Where necessary, pressure reduction techniques are used to improve comfort when walking.
Clear guidance is provided on foot hygiene, home care, and prevention to help reduce the risk of spread or recurrence.
A verruca, also known as a plantar wart, is a viral infection of the skin that appears on the sole of the foot. It is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and commonly develops on weight-bearing areas, which can make it uncomfortable or painful when walking.
Verrucae can spread if left untreated and may become more difficult to manage over time. Professional assessment helps confirm the diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment.
Verrucae treatment focuses on managing the viral infection, reducing discomfort, and supporting the body’s natural healing process. Treatment is tailored to the size, location, and severity of the verruca, as well as individual foot health.
At Harbour Foot Clinic, treatment is delivered safely and professionally, with advice provided on aftercare and prevention to reduce the risk of spread or recurrence.
Verrucae can sometimes be mistaken for corns or calluses, but there are several signs that may indicate a verruca is present.
These include pain when walking or standing, rough or thickened skin on the sole of the foot, small black dots within the lesion, and disruption of normal skin lines. Early assessment helps prevent the verruca from spreading or becoming more painful.
Without treatment, verrucae can increase in size, spread to other areas of the foot, or be passed on to others. When located on pressure points, they may cause increasing discomfort and affect mobility.
Early professional treatment helps manage symptoms, reduce the risk of spread, and improve comfort during everyday activities.
Professional verrucae treatment provides a structured and safe approach to managing the condition. Regular care helps reduce discomfort, protect surrounding healthy skin, and monitor progress over time.
Treatment also includes guidance on hygiene and prevention, helping to lower the risk of recurrence and support overall foot health.
