Verrucae

A verruca (plantar wart) is a small, rough growth on the sole of your foot caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It sneaks in through tiny cuts in damp environments like pools or showers, and because it’s under pressure from walking, unlike warts found on hands, it grows inward like a little thorn – making it stubborn to self-treat and often sore.

Signs and symptoms of verrucae:

At Doncaster Foot Clinic we use the two most effective treatments in the world right now to properly eliminate verrucas: Swift microwave therapy and verruca needling. These clinically proven methods stimulate your body’s immune response to target the virus at its source, offering far better success rates than traditional methods like acids or freezing – which is exactly why so many people in Doncaster choose us for stubborn or long-standing verrucas. Swift delivers precise microwave energy in quick bursts with minimal fuss, while needling is a targeted technique under local anaesthetic for excellent results. We also provide a highly successful, painless verruca treatment option specially tailored for children, making us a go-to spot for families too.
