Are you plagued with a foot full of verruca? Too embarrassed to go to yoga? Wearing your socks to the beach? We get you; verrucae can be embarrassing and uncomfortable.

 

A verruca is a wart on the foot, called a plantar wart. They are bumpy in appearance like a mini cauliflower but flatten from the pressure of walking. They can reach up to ½ inch in diameter or present in clusters of many small verrucae and are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV).​Verrucae are harmless and have no real side effects. Although, sometimes they can cause a slight pain if you get one on a weight-bearing area where hard skin can build up. Non-weight-bearing verrucae lesions do not tend to cause pain.
