Salicylic Acid Application

Salicylic acid over 60% is a widely used and effective treatment for verrucas (plantar warts). It works by softening the thickened skin and breaking down the wart tissue, stimulating the immune system to fight the virus

Silver Nitrate

Silver nitrate at 95% is sometimes used as a chemical cauterizing agent for treating verrucas. It works by destroying infected skin cells and triggering the body’s immune response to fight the wart virus (HPV). However, it must be used carefully to avoid damage to surrounding healthy skin.

Verruca Needling (Faulkners)

Verruca needling is an effective minor surgical procedure used to treat stubborn plantar warts (verrucas), especially those resistant to other treatments like salicylic acid or cryotherapy. It involves using a fine needle to penetrate and disrupt the verruca tissue, introducing the HPV virus into the deeper layers of the skin to trigger an immune response.

Verratop

Verrutop is a unique combination which is formulated with Nitrizinc Complex, a solution containing nitric acid, organic acids, zinc and copper salts. It is a topical solution based on Nitrizinc Complex® for treating skin, palmoplantar and periungual warts and condylomata. This formulation is applied directly to the wart, causing it to dehydrate and peel away over time. Unlike some treatments that rely on extreme temperatures or aggressive chemicals, Verrutop works by breaking down the protein structure of the wart, leading to a natural shedding of the affected skin.
