What are Verrucas and Warts?
Veruccas and warts are common skin conditions that usually affect the feet. They are caused by a virus which is transferred through direct contact with someone who has them. The virus can enter the skin via small cuts on the feet which then causes an infection leading to warts or veruccas on your foot.
Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of veruccas and warts are usually painless, but they can also cause itchiness, burning sensation, and bleeding. These symptoms may vary depending on the type of wart or verucca but our team at Absolute Foot Care can identify and treat your foot condition with the best practice.
