Warts and verrucas - NHS

There is no guaranteed cure, but some treatments can help to clear warts. The best chance of cure is in young people who have not had their warts for very long. If you have an illness that affects your immunity or are taking immunosuppressant medication, treatment can be less successful. Most verrucas will clear with time and can be left untreated if not causing problems. When deciding whether to treat plantar warts or not, the following should be considered: To avoid verrucas and warts do protect yourselves by wearing flip flops in communal showers.

Treating plantar warts can be painful, especially when liquid nitrogen is used, and can occasionally cause a blister which, on the sole, can be very uncomfortable. Warts and verrucas are the same thing – and are caused by various strains of the human papilloma virus (there are over 100 strains, and there’s pretty much no avoiding getting at least one of them through such things as shared changing rooms). So, when you get one, how do you get rid of it? On balance it is usually only worth treating a wart or verruca if it is troublesome. For example, if it is painful or you find it ugly and conspicuous. What are the treatment options? The HPV virus is thought to thrive in moist, damp environments such as swimming pools, changing room floors and communal shower areas. It is possible to contract verrucae simply by walking across the same floor area as someone with a verruca, especially if you have any small or invisible cuts or abrasions that make it easier for the virus to penetrate. Who gets them?You should not apply salicylic acid to the face because of the risk of skin irritation which may cause scarring. A common wart may be round or oval-shaped and feel firm and rough. It sometimes looks like a tiny cauliflower. A GP may be able to freeze a wart or verruca so it falls off a few weeks later. Sometimes it takes a few sessions. There is no reason why you shouldn't take part in activities such as sports or swimming if you have a wart or verruca.
