Verrucae and warts are most commonly found on the foot but can also be found elsewhere on the body, such as the hands, elbows, and knees. They are generally harmless but can cause concern due to their unsightly appearance, rapid spread, or pain. At Acorn Sports Podiatry, our experienced podiatrist offers a number of treatment options to resolve this contagious virus painlessly.
Verrucae, also known as warts, are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is highly contagious and passed on by direct human contact. The virus thrives in areas of high moisture and dampness, such as bathrooms, showers, swimming pools, and changing rooms.
