Loss of protective sensation is monitored, an ABPI (ankle brachial pressure index) is conducted to detect peripheral vascular disease alongside other clinical tests.

The verruca is a virus which lies within our own cells and evades our own immune system; allowing to stay in situ for a number of years. Often the lesions resolve themselves within 2 years. However, some affect daily life, cause pain and look unsightly. We have a number of treatment options, all depending on the duration and how deep the verruca lies.

Verrucae treatment options available at Sefton Podiatry:

VERRUTOP - Verrutop is a professionally applied nitrizinc complex which breaks down the protein  in the HPV affected tissue cells. Suitable for children.

SWIFT - Swift uses a precise dose of microwave energy to create localised heat energy, the healing cascade begins immediately. Tissue cells are replaced, repaired and regenerated - more info below.

FAULKNERS NEEDLING - Under a local anaesthetic, the verrucae lesion is punctured many times. This allows the viral particles to be exposed into the deeper tissues, allowing for an increased opportunity for the HPV virus to be recognised by the immune system and eradicated.

COMFORT DEBRIDING - Verrucae can often have  overlying callus, causing discomfort. This can be debrided resulting in the lesion being flush with the skin, supple and eases pain and discomfort from the verrucae. Often, a little tactical nick can increase the chances of the verrucae resolving through increased blood flow to the verrucae site.
