Common questions
What is the difference between a wart and a verruca?
A verruca is a wart on the sole of the foot. The virus is the same. The foot is just harder to clear, because you walk on it.
Do you cut them out?
No. We freeze them. Cryotherapy. If it looks like a mole, we do not freeze it.
Do you treat genital warts?
No.
Is a corn the same as a verruca?
No. A corn is hard skin from pressure. Freezing a corn is the wrong job. We will say if that is what it is.
How much is it?
From £79. The fee depends on how many there are, and whether it needs another freeze. That is decided in the room.
Will one freeze clear it?
Sometimes. A verruca often needs more than one. It does not always go on the day of the freeze.
Will it spread?
It can, until it has gone. Do not pick it, and do not share a towel or a pumice on the foot.
What is the downtime?
A blister is normal. Do not pick it. On the foot, keep the pressure off the blister. Keep the sun off the treated skin.
