Verrucas are small, rough growths that usually develop on the soles of the feet. They are often oval-shaped, whitish in colour, and may have a small black dot in the centre (a tiny blood vessel).
Unlike other warts, verrucas grow inward due to pressure from standing and walking, which can make them uncomfortable or painful.
Although they often clear on their own, this can take months — and sometimes even years.
Verrucas are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus enters through tiny breaks in the skin and triggers excess production of keratin, forming a hardened area of skin.
They thrive in warm, moist environments and are commonly picked up in places like swimming pools, gyms, and communal changing areas.
Verrucas are contagious and can spread through direct skin contact or shared surfaces such as towels, socks, or shoes.
To reduce the risk of spreading:
Early treatment can help prevent spreading and reduce discomfort.
