Verrutop
What Is Verrutop?
Verrutop is an innovative medication specifically designed to treat verrucas and warts. It contains a Nitrizinc complex that is applied directly onto the verrucae. Once applied, Verrutop works by drying out and desiccating the verruca, promoting cell death within the lesion. This verrucae gradually reduces before fully resolving by encouraging the body’s natural healing mechanism.
Who Can Benefit from Verrutop?
Verrutop is a minimally invasive, often painless treatment suitable for people of all ages, including children from 6 years old. It is particularly effective for smaller verrucae, such as those found on the tops of toes, under the feet, or on fingers and hands. These smaller lesions tend to respond best to Verrutop, making it an excellent choice for treating stubborn verrucas in children.
How Does Verrutop Treatment Work?
Our podiatrists will begin with a thorough examination of the verrucae, including visual inspection and a review of your child’s medical history. If Verrutop is deemed suitable, treatment is often carried out on the same day. The process involves:
- Preparation: The podiatrist will gently remove any overlying hard skin using a scalpel — this step is usually painless but may cause minor, brief bleeding, which is normal.
- Application: The Verrutop solution is applied to the lesion several times and left to dry. During the procedure, your child may experience a mild stinging or burning sensation, but this typically subsides within a day.
- Follow-up: The treatment generally requires multiple applications (usually around six), with each session helping to desiccate and eliminate the verruca. This targeted approach promotes cell death within the wart.
How Can Verrutop Help Me?
Clinical studies have shown that Verrutop has an approximately 90% success rate after six applications. While results can vary depending on the individual, most patients experience significant improvement, and many verrucas are fully resolved. It’s important to understand that, like all verruca treatments, complete clearance cannot be guaranteed, but Verrutop offers a highly effective, pain-free option, making it a safe and effective option for children.
