​

What Are Warts?

Warts are small growths of hard skin on the skin. They occur because the skin is infected with the human papilloma virus (HPV). Skin cells infected by this virus overproduce keratin, a skin protein that is very tough. The mound of keratin hardens into a typical raised white scaly lump. Hand warts sometimes go away by themselves without treatment. When a wart occurs on the sole of the foot it is usually called a verruca. They can sometimes be difficult to treat.

​

When the body becomes immune to HPV, the wart or verruca disappears. This generally takes about two years from when the wart or verruca first appears. In very rare circumstances, some people develop a large cluster of very large warts.  This may indicate a problem with the immune system, which needs to be investigated.

​

What are Verrucas?

Verrucas are small growths of hard skin on the sole of the foot that develop because the skin is infected with HPV, also known as the human papilloma virus. You can catch verrucas, but they are not spread very easily. The HPV virus that causes them can spread in damp conditions, such as changing rooms and swimming pools.

Verrucas tend to be more deep-seated within the fleshier sole of the foot and they can cause discomfort or pain when walking, running or standing.  Many verrucas are treated because they can cause more severe symptoms.
