Verucca Treatments

The primary method used at Sale Podiatry for the treatment/removal of Verrucas is Verrutop.

"Verrutop is a new type of wart treatment. Unlike Cryotherapy or other chemical treatments, Verrutop does not act by freezing or burning the tissue. Instead, it denatures the viral protein and desiccates the wart tissue, which then falls off the skin leaving intact skin underneath. Treatment is normally quick and painless.

Verrutop 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. On skin, palmoplantar and periungual warts its effectiveness is 90% with an average of 3 sessions and a maximum of 6. On genital warts, the effectiveness of Verrutop® is over 87% after 3 or 4 sessions, having observed some cases of complete resolution after a single session. When Verrutop is applied to a wart, a chemical reaction takes place, which causes mummification of the tissue (dehydration and cellular destruction) and the wart changes colour (white/grey/yellowish). Over time, mummification leads to the spontaneous detachment of a wart."
