Verruca Treatments Dunfermline

Here at Dunfermline Podiatry Centre, we offer comprehensive verruca treatments. Caused by a viral infection, warts can often be left alone. However when they become painful or unsightly or  if they spread they may be treated by various methods. 

Verrucae can often go undetected and may not cause any pain. However, There are often cases where they become sore or can spread, this can not only be uncomfortable but also unsightly. If this is the case, having them treated professionally is usually the best option. The two treatments that we offer are Salicylic acid and Swift Microwave Therapy.

Salicylic acid is the classic treatment. It is the same ingredient often found in over the counter products but our podiatrists use it at a much greater strength. Our podiatrist will remove any dead tissue around the verruca and then treat with the acid. This will be covered with a dressing and you will return in one week to check on the progress. This will be repeated until the verrucas have gone. The length of time this takes varies greatly from each individual. The cost for each Salicylic acid treatment is £45.
