Verrucae What is it, how to treat? Plantar wart Cutaneous warts are small, rough growths that are caused by infection of keratinocytes with human papilloma virus (HPV). They can appear anywhere on the skin but are commonly seen on the hands and feet. A verruca (also known as a plantar wart) is a wart on the sole of the foot. Warts may clear spontaneously at any time, or persist for years. Prognosis varies from person to person and resolution is usually more rapid in children. Benign warts in immunocompetent people almost never undergo malignant change. Although warts can be cosmetically unsightly, they are not harmful, usually do not cause symptoms, and most resolve without treatment. Advice should be offered on reducing the risk of transmission and limiting personal spread of warts. Causes and treatment Cutaneous warts are common and can occur at any age, but are unusual in infants and very young children. Incidence is thought to increase during school years reaching a peak in adolescence and early adulthood before declining in later adulthood. Warts are usually spread by direct skin-to-skin contact, or indirectly via contact with contaminated floors or surfaces (for example in swimming pools or communal washing areas). Treatment should be considered if a wart is painful, cosmetically unsightly, persistent, or the person requests treatment. Book an appointment Presentations Warts are diagnosed from their typical appearance: Common warts are firm and raised with a rough surface that resembles a cauliflower (common on knuckles, knees, and fingers). Periungual warts are common warts around the nails that can be painful and disturb nail growth — nail biting is a risk factor. Plane warts are usually round, flat-topped, and skin coloured or greyish yellow (common on the backs of hands). Filiform warts have a finger-like appearance and may have a stalk (more common on the face and neck). Palmar and plantar warts grow on the palms and the soles of the feet (verrucae). They often have central dark dots (thrombosed capillaries) and may be painful. Mosaic warts occur when palmar or plantar warts coalesce into larger plaques on the hands and feet.

Verrutop Verrutop is a new type of wart and verruca treatment. Unlike Cryotherapy or other chemical treatments, Verrutop does not act by freezing or burning the tissue. Instead it denatures the viral protein and desiccates the wart tissue, which then falls off the skin, leaving intact skin underneath. ••• Treatment is normally quick and painless.

Symptoms may include white or yellow nail discoloration, thickening of the nail, and the nail may separate from the nail bed. It is mainly found in toenails but some do get it in their fingernails. Complications may include cellulitis of the lower leg. A number of different types of fungus can cause onychomycosis, including dermatophytes and Fusarium. You can be prone to get it if you have athletes foot, peripheral vascular disease and a poor immune function. Treatments include the antifungal medication Terbinafine prescribed by your GP taken by mouth, it is very effective but is associated with liver problems. Topical treatments such as nail lacquer's and sprays when combined with trimming and filing of the nail helps the condition. Not using old shoes after treatment may decrease the risk of recurrence and an athletes foot spray can also be useful. Presents in different forms Fungal nails can occur for many reasons.
