Great for Stubborn Verrucae
Works when over-the-counter products like Bazuka gel, salicylic acid or duct tape have failed. Suitable for deep or long-standing verrucae.
Podiatrist Precision
We remove hard skin first and apply Verrutop with medical precision — ensuring it reaches the infected tissue where it works best.
How It Works
What happens during your Verrutop appointment?
Your appointment is detailed, gentle and carefully controlled. Here's what to expect.
Full Assessment
We confirm the lesion is a verruca and not a corn, callus or fungal infection. Correct diagnosis ensures your Verrutop treatment is accurate and effective.
Accurate diagnosisReduction of Hard Skin
We gently remove the thickened skin covering the verruca using sterile instruments. This step is essential because it allows Verrutop to reach the infected tissue underneath.
Preparation is keyApplication of Verrutop
Verrutop is a liquid topical solution applied directly to the verruca with a precision capillary tube. It reacts with the tissue, causing it to dry out and begin breaking down. Most people feel no discomfort at all.
Painless applicationNo Downtime
Once the session is complete, you can walk normally, return to work or school, and continue daily life as usual. No dressings, no special care needed.
Immediate return to lifeRepeat Every 2 Weeks
You'll return every 2 weeks for continued Verrutop treatment. We repeat the process until the verruca fully disappears. Most patients notice steady improvement as the verruca gets smaller with each session.
2-week intervalsFull Clearance
In many cases, we've cleared the verruca with just one treatment, while others may require several sessions — it all depends on your immune system, how long the verruca has been present, and the depth or severity of the lesion.
Varies by case

FAQs
Your Verrutop Questions Answered
Verrutop is a professional, painless verruca treatment solution that breaks down verruca tissue gradually. Unlike self-treatments, it works by dehydrating the viral tissue, causing the verruca to shrivel, dry and lift away without damaging healthy surrounding skin.
Most people require repeat sessions every 2 weeks, but some only needed one. Verrutop works gradually, and the number of sessions varies depending on how long you've had the verruca, how deep it is, and how your immune system responds.
Not usually. Most patients feel nothing more than mild tingling or warmth. It is far gentler than cryotherapy, making Verrutop particularly suitable for children and people with sensitive skin.
Yes — absolutely. Verrutop is widely used for children because it is gentle, sting-free and quick to apply. Our podiatrist is regarded as one of the best in Nottingham for treating children's foot conditions, and we take extra time to explain the process in a child-friendly way. If allowed by parents, your child will even receive a sweet at the end as a treat for being brave.
Most children pick up verrucae in places like swimming pools, school changing rooms, shared showers, family members, sports facilities, and gym floors. These are common environments for the virus to spread. Verrutop is one of the most effective ways to treat verrucae picked up in these communal areas.
Yes — there is no downtime at all. You can walk, exercise, shower and return to school or work immediately after each Verrutop session.
Home treatments often don't penetrate deeply enough, especially when the verruca has been there for a long time. Verrutop works deeper, more precisely, more consistently, and with less discomfort. Because hard skin is removed first, Verrutop reaches the active viral tissue — something home treatments cannot do.
Yes. If needed, Verrutop can be combined with other treatments for especially stubborn or painful verrucae. Your podiatrist will discuss the best plan for your situation.
Once the verruca has fully detached and healed, recurrence is unlikely. Verrutop helps trigger your immune system, which reduces the chance of the verruca returning.
Usually no. Verrutop requires very little aftercare. You can shower, bathe and live normally unless your podiatrist advises otherwise for comfort.
Multiple verrucae will be treated during the same appointment. Verrutop is suitable whether you have one verruca or several clustered in one area (mosaic verrucae).
Book as soon as possible if the verruca is painful, it is spreading, your child feels embarrassed or uncomfortable, home treatments have failed, or the verruca has been present for months or years. Verrutop is gentle, effective and a great option for families who want fast, professional care.
