Verrucas, also known as plantar warts, are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) entering the skin through small cuts or abrasions on the bottom of the feet. The virus thrives in warm, moist environments like locker rooms, Swimming Pools, and communal showers, making these places common sources of infection. Individuals with weakened immune systems or who frequently walk barefoot in these areas are more susceptible to developing verrucas. Proper foot hygiene, avoiding walking barefoot in public areas, and wearing protective footwear can help prevent verrucas.

Verrucas are, mostly due to external pressure applied, ingrowing warts. Hence being found mainly on the underside of the feet. Verrucas and warts are caused by the blood borne DNA parasitic viruses HPV2 and HPV4 which specifically attack and mutate the skin cells called keratinocytes. The HP virus is carried on shed skin and in blood and enters the body via a trauma site (nick, cut, scratch, burst blister etc) which is why it is essential not to go pool swimming, swap shoes or walk around barefoot or use communal showers if you have untreated verrucas; you will transmit the disease to others. Warts and verrucas rarely just go away. They should be removed either by freezing, electrocauterically or, in extreme cases, by surgery. Most of the time they can be safely removed by the application of a keratolytic (salicylic acid) preparation found in any health store/ pharmacy/ supermarket.
