Verruca Treatment
Verrucas are very common and are caused by an infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV). They can look unsightly and are sometimes painful. The virus causes an excessive amount of keratin, a hard protein, to develop which produces a rough, hard texture. Verrucas are very contagious and can be passed on by skin-to-skin contact or even indirectly, for example, at swimming pools and gym floors.

I can discuss the various treatment options with you, however I am pleased to now offer Verrutop® a new type of treatment for warts and verrucas. Verrutop is a topical solution for professional use providing painless treatment of difficult verrucas that is highly effective in just a few applications. If deciding to go ahead with verrutop treatment, I will need to return every two weeks to treat the verruca.
● The treatment kills the wart tissue by breaking down its protein structure, leaving intact skin underneath.
● No pain has been reported in clinical studies, either during application or afterwards.
● Verrutop is suitable for adults and children as young as 6 years
Warts and verrucas can sometimes be difficult to remove and success cannot be guaranteed. The problem may even return at a later date. However, the Verrutop manufacturer, Espère Healthcare, states that 80% of patients saw clearance within four applications.
