Verruca needling

Ouch  do you have a painful verruca?  

Verruca on the sole can be particularly difficult to treat. This is because the skin on the plantar aspect of the foot is thicker than the skin elsewhere on the body making it difficult for treatments such as cryotherapy to penetrate the skin layers.

For long-standing painful verruca, needling can be a very effective treatment.

Verruca needling is performed under local anaesthetic. A hypodermic needle is then used to repeatedly puncture the verruca. This pushes infected tissue into the dermis to trigger an immune response.

If there is more than one verruca usually only one verruca needs to be treated. When your immune system kicks in all verruca will resolve
