Verruca, these pesky things are caused by one of the human papillomavirus variants or HPV and can be a real pain in the......foot. The virus needs a way in so avoiding cuts and minor damage to the soles of the feet and maintaining good basic foot health is a good start to preventing them. Avoiding the virus itself is another good step (yes pun intended), it likes to hang out in warm damp places meaning changing room and swimming pools are a good place to hook up with a verruca. Not that I would normally recommend flip flops but this would be a good place to wear them. They are highly contagious so if you have one keep it covered in public places. They don't do you any harm and are often painless, but symptoms you might get include an intense itch, pain and obviously you will see the verruca often hidden under a callus. The body will get rid of them eventually but they can hang around a long time. There are lots of over the counter treatments that can be used or you can see a foot healthcare practitioner or podiatrist who have other treatments and tricks up their sleeve to help get rid of them.

Have you ever wondered what a corn is? No not the type you eat 🌽ones on your feet. There are actually quite a few different corn types depending on their location. They are a thickening of the skin to protect an area and are caused by excessive pressure and or friction. This can be because your footwear is too tight, the way you walk or one bony area of the foot rubbing on another. These can sometimes be painful and inflamed and in other cases don't cause a pain or real problems. A foot healthcare practitioner can effectively remove a corn using one of several methods and give you advice on how to prevent them returning. They are not contagious so there is no fear of spreading them around.
