Frequently asked questions by patients considering verruca treatment.
A verruca appears as a small, rough, and raised growth on the skin, often with black dots in the centre.
A verruca is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) infecting the skin's top layer, resulting in its characteristic growth.
Swift Microwave Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment for verruca that utilises microwave energy to heat and destroy the infected tissue. The treatment raises the temperature within the verruca cells, triggering an immune response that helps the body recognize and eliminate the virus, leading to the eventual clearance of the verruca.
Yes, you can get verrucas on your fingers and we can treat them. Verrucas, also known as warts, are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can appear on various parts of the body, including the hands and fingers.
Attempting to cut out a verruca without proper medical guidance could lead to infection, scarring, and potential complications.
Swimming with a verruca is generally not recommended without a good fitting verrucae, as the virus that causes verrucas (human papillomavirus or HPV) can spread through direct contact, including in wet and communal environments like swimming pools. Verrucas can shed virus cells into the water, potentially exposing others to the virus.
Verrucas can develop in areas that experience a lot of pressure and friction, such as the soles of the feet. This pressure can cause the verruca to be pushed inward, leading to pain. They can also become infected, leading to increased pain and inflammation.
It is not uncommon for patients to feel a very short hot sensation, similar which quickly passes. Unlike most treatments for verruca, pain felt during the treatment quickly subsides, and only in rare cases is there any prolonged pain.
In some cases the treated area may feel sore but will not prevent you undertaking normal daily activities. In rare cases (5%) a raised blood blister can occur which we can ease with a quick return visit.
This is dependent on how you respond to treatment. In some cases, you may need more than one treatment (treatments are 4 weeks apart). Your Podiatrist or Dermatologist will be able to discuss this with you.
With a few exceptions, most people with skin lesions would be able to have this treatment. We will carry out an assessment prior to treatment and be able to advise you on this.
