Effective Solutions for Verrucae Removal
What is a verruca?
A verruca is a form of the human papillomavirus (HPV), that occurs mainly on the soles of the feet and around the toe area, however, they can occur elsewhere on the body and are then known as warts.
The virus thrives in warm environments such as changing room floors. It is contagious through direct person-to-person contact and for example, simply walking barefoot across the same floor as someone with a verruca could cause you to contract the virus.
Verrucae are characterised by small ‘cauliflower-like’ growths with tiny centralised black dots. People often think that the black dots are the root, however, these are micro blood vessels.
Can they resolve on their own?

Verruca Treatment FAQs
What is the most effective treatment for verrucas?
Based on current research, Swift microwave therapy is the most effective non-surgical verruca treatment available. It has a success rate of over 80% reported in some research, which is significantly higher than traditional treatments like salicylic acid and cryotherapy. Swift works by heating the tissue and triggering an immune response to fight the virus from the inside out – helping to clear even persistent or hard-to-treat verrucae.
How many treatments will I need to get rid of a verruca?
Most patients require just 3 to 4 Swift treatments, spaced a few weeks apart. However, the exact number depends on how long you’ve had the verruca, its size and your individual response to treatment. Some people notice improvement after the first session, while others may need additional follow-up to ensure full resolution.
Is verruca treatment painful?
You may feel a short, sharp sensation during Swift treatment, similar to a brief sting or pinch but it only lasts a few seconds. Most people tolerate the treatment well. There’s no need for bandages, and you won’t be left with a sore or weeping wound like with some acid or freezing treatments.
Can I walk or exercise after verruca treatment?
Yes, that’s one of the key benefits of Swift. There’s no downtime or aftercare required, so you can get straight back to walking, exercising, or returning to work or school. The skin remains intact and there’s no need to avoid activity after your session.
When should I see a podiatrist for a verruca?
If your verruca is painful, spreading, or not responding to over-the-counter treatments after a few weeks, it’s time to see a podiatrist. Verrucae can become increasingly stubborn with age and may start to interfere with daily life. A podiatrist can assess the lesion, confirm the diagnosis, and advise on the most suitable treatment including whether Swift is right for you.
