Wart and Verruca Treatment

A verruca can disguise itself as a hard patch on the sole and pass for a callus, until you stand on it and feel a sharp, pinpoint pain. Because your body weight presses it inward, a verruca on the foot hurts in a way it would not elsewhere, and it can quietly spread to other parts of the foot. Here is the difference between a verruca and a corn, and how the clinic clears it.

What a verruca is

Verrucae are warts caused by a common virus that enters through small breaks in the skin, and they spread through wet floors. As the Mayo Clinic explains in its guide to plantar warts, they can multiply and recur, which is why early, correct treatment is worth it.

How Flawless Esthetics Clinic treats it

When you book through podiatrist.ng, a podiatrist at Flawless Esthetics Clinic first confirms it is a verruca and not a corn, since the two look alike but need different care, then selects a method suited to its size, depth, and your needs.

Emeka, a 19 year old student, felt like he was standing on a pebble for almost a year, and pared it down himself again and again, certain it was a stubborn corn. When he booked and was seen at the Ogba clinic, the podiatrist recognised it as a verruca, not a corn, and started the correct treatment.

Two more had already begun forming nearby. Had he kept treating it as a corn, those satellites would have spread further across the sole, turning one nuisance into a cluster. Naming it correctly changed the plan entirely.

Will it go away on its own?

Some do, eventually, but painful or spreading ones are better treated, especially before they multiply.

Can I catch it at the gym?

Yes. Wet communal floors are a common source, so flip flops help. A consultation will confirm what you are dealing with.
