What are warts?

 

Warts are a viral infection in the epidermal layers of the skin and are thought to be transmissible through direct contact or by walking barefooted in communal pools or showers. Warts may spread and grow in size to press on nerve endings in the skin to become quite painful.

Treatment of warts

 

Their removal may be facilitated by the use of ‘wart-paints’ available from any pharmacy, or may be frozen off, needled or surgically curetted as an in office procedure.  Seek advice from your doctor or an Easy Feet Podiatrist.
