More Information
"Warts and verrucas are benign epidermal growths triggered by the human papillomavirus (HPV) entering through small cuts in the skin. Most people notice small, fleshy bumps on the hands or hard, flat patches on the soles of the feet that may feel grainy or show tiny black pinpoints. While often painless, they can become tender or unsightly, leading many to seek a formal diagnosis. You can start a consultation for clinical assessment and management on Mail My Meds to find the right approach for your skin."

Warts and verrucas are small, non-cancerous lumps on the skin caused by a viral infection. Warts usually appear on the fingers or knuckles, while verrucas are specific to the feet. These conditions are highly contagious and spread through direct skin contact or contaminated surfaces like changing room floors.
The primary cause of warts and verrucas is the human papillomavirus (HPV), which thrives in warm, moist environments. Symptoms vary between individuals but generally include a rough surface texture and a change in skin appearance. Because the virus affects the top layer of skin, the body’s immune response determines how quickly the lesion resolves.
| Feature | Common Wart | Verruca (Plantar Wart) |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Hands, knees, or face | Soles of the feet |
| Appearance | Raised, cauliflower-like bump | Flat, hard, thick skin |
| Pain Level | Usually painless | Can feel like a stone in your shoe |
You should seek medical advice if the growth bleeds, changes colour, causes significant physical pain, or if you have a weakened immune system or diabetes.
You can buy effective treatments for warts and verrucas from registered online pharmacies and local chemists. Many people choose to purchase clinical-strength solutions to speed up the healing process. These options work by breaking down the toughened skin or stimulating the immune system to clear the virus.
