They\u2019re difficult to cure and prone to recurring.<\/p><p>It is best to visit a pharmacist for professional medical advice on how to treat these types of warts.

They resemble large spots or bumps with a rough surface that occur in clusters. If you hit them against something, they may bleed, although this is more common when your warts have grown deeper into your skin over time.<\/p><p>This kind of wart might go away on its own or with some at-home treatments, but you should see a doctor before attempting to treat warts at home since certain methods can harm healthy skin if used incorrectly.<\/p><h3><b>Genital Warts<\/b><\/h3><p>Warts that appear on the genitals are called genital warts and are also caused by the human papilloma virus. These can be especially difficult to treat since the skin in this area contains more sweat glands and oil glands, which can make it harder for medications to penetrate.<\/p><h3><b>Verrucas<\/b><\/h3><p>Verrucas (or verrucae) look similar to plantar warts, except they\u2019re smooth and often a yellowy-brown colour when they mature. The tiny black dots on verrucas are caused by tiny blood vessels, which can appear as dark dots when the verruca becomes larger.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fa7623c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fa7623c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-60471c0\" data-id=\"60471c0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fd53185\" data-id=\"fd53185\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23eb296 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"23eb296\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=doQAaJ6WcVI&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.21.0 - 24-04-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-video .elementor-widget-container{overflow:hidden;transform:translateZ(0)}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper{aspect-ratio:var(--video-aspect-ratio)}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper iframe,.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper video{height:100%;width:100%;display:flex;border:none;background-color:#000}@supports not (aspect-ratio:1\/1){.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper{position:relative;overflow:hidden;height:0;padding-bottom:calc(100% \/ var(--video-aspect-ratio))}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper iframe,.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper video{position:absolute;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;left:0}}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-open-inline .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay{position:absolute;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;left:0;background-size:cover;background-position:50%}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay{cursor:pointer;text-align:center}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay:hover .elementor-custom-embed-play i{opacity:1}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay img{display:block;width:100%;aspect-ratio:var(--video-aspect-ratio);-o-object-fit:cover;object-fit:cover;-o-object-position:center center;object-position:center center}@supports not (aspect-ratio:1\/1){.elementor-widget-video .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay{position:relative;overflow:hidden;height:0;padding-bottom:calc(100% \/ var(--video-aspect-ratio))}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay img{position:absolute;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;left:0}}.elementor-widget-video .e-hosted-video .elementor-video{-o-object-fit:cover;object-fit:cover}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-video,.e-con>.elementor-widget-video{width:var(--container-widget-width);--flex-grow:var(--container-widget-flex-grow)}<\/style>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c94b182\" data-id=\"c94b182\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-114eb247 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"114eb247\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7e298c2f\" data-id=\"7e298c2f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76f55ecc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"76f55ecc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Verrucas aren\u2019t painful to walk on and they tend to develop on pressure points such as between the toes or under a shoe\u2019s edge.

aria-level=\"1\">Dry your feet thoroughly.<\/li><li>Use a scrub to get rid of excess hard skin.\u00a0A pumice stone, nail files or an emery board can be used on the verruca but not on surrounding healthy skin as this may cause scarring or bleeding.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Use tweezers to pull off any dry pieces of skin which have been loosened by the pumice or nail file.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">If the verruca is particularly hard, soak the skin in white vinegar for a few minutes.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Apply antiseptic cream to reduce inflammation and prevent

Your GP may suggest trying some prescription creams or ointments. Alternatively, they might refer you to a consultant dermatologist where a specialist will be able to talk through other treatment options with you.<\/p><p>A podiatrist at a specialist dermatology clinic may recommend one of the following options of how to kill a verruca:<\/p><h3><b>Curettage<\/b><\/h3><p>This is where the doctor scrapes away layers of diseased skin with a surgical scalpel to destroy them and prevent them from spreading beneath your skin. This surgical removal is also known as excision removal. It may cause some bleeding at the time but the procedure will not scar your skin.<\/p><h3><b>Cryotherapy<\/b><\/h3><p>Cryotherapy is a procedure which uses liquid nitrogen to kill the verruca. It is carried out at a hospital, by a GP or by a specialist nurse. The specialist will apply liquid nitrogen onto a cotton bud and then use it to freeze off the verruca. It may take a few sessions to completely cure the affected area.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

Consider using an over-the-counter topical medication such as salicylic acid (or potassium hydroxide) if you don\u2019t want to use one of the more expensive treatments available for these skin conditions.
