Verrucas

Verrucas, also known as plantar warts, are small, rough growths on the soles of the feet caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They often appear with a hard border and a tiny black dot in the centre, and may be painful when pressure is applied.

Most verruca treatments use active ingredients like salicylic acid, which softens hard skin and gradually exfoliates infected tissue. Some treatments may also contain lactic acid, silver nitrate, or use cryotherapy (freezing) to destroy the virus. These formulations are designed to break down infected cells while promoting healthy skin regeneration. At Welzo, we curate only the most reliable and well-reviewed verruca treatments, handpicked for clinical efficacy, ease of use, and real-world results. This collection is part of our broader Foot Care range, designed to restore comfort, hygiene, and skin integrity across all foot conditions.

Treating verrucas early helps prevent pain, spreading, and long-term skin thickening. Over-the-counter treatments are safe, easy to apply at home, and supported by dermatological research.

• Targets verruca-causing HPV at the source

• Exfoliates infected skin and promotes cell turnover

• Reduces pressure pain and stops spread to other areas
