Verrucae are viral growths on the skin of the feet that anyone can develop, even with good hygiene. They can sometimes be painless, but when they appear in weight-bearing areas they may become uncomfortable. They are also contagious and can spread to other areas of the foot or to other people if not managed. Early assessment and treatment are important to reduce discomfort and prevent complications or spreading.
At Podiatry Clinic Dublin, our podiatrist/chiropodist in Dublin or Athlone begins with a full assessment to confirm the diagnosis and ensure there are no underlying complications. This helps ensure the most appropriate and effective treatment is selected, rather than relying on home remedies that may delay recovery.
Treatment options may include:
Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual, taking into account the size, duration, and location of the verruca as well as your lifestyle and goals. Your podiatrist will guide your care, monitor progress, and adjust treatment as needed. The aim is to improve clearance rates, reduce recurrence, and help you return to normal activity comfortably within a modern podiatry clinical setting.
