What is Verrucae ?

Plantar warts or verrucae are warts appearing on the soles of your feet, which in most cases are extremely painful, sore, and bothersome, requiring removal. Being slightly different from common warts, verrucae mostly affect children and teens but can appear in adults as well.

Verrucae are caused by the HPV or Human Papillomavirus strains 1.2.4 and 63. Highly contagious, plantar warts in particular, and any type of wart for that matter, can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact, from one person to another, or from one area of the body to another, personal hygiene being thus of utmost importance.

Plantar warts or verrucae are also caused by high-risk factors such as skin trauma, use of public showers, or a weakened immune system due to the use of certain medications or illnesses.

Do they spread?

Warts are highly contagious. They are transmitted by direct skin contact (when you pick at the wart and then touch another area of your body). It can also spread through towels or razors. Warts like moist, and soft or injured skin

How is the diagnosis confirmed?

Usually, the diagnosis of a wart is made on a clinical basis. However, a biopsy can be done to confirm it.

Renew Skin & Health Clinic recommends people suffering from plantar warts undergo our safe and highly effective verruca removal laser treatment using the ND:Yag and CO2 technologies. To determine however that you indeed suffer from verrucae on the soles of your feet, you will undergo a specialized consultation, during which our dermatologist or GP will determine the exact condition of your plantar wart and eliminate the possibilities of other skin conditions resembling the verruca, such as corns, calluses, nevi or other potentially malignant skin lesions.

What they say about us

Swathi hb

I spoke to Dr.Jha regarding a condition where I had difficulty in swallowing food, pain in chest while gulping it down. Doc asked my symptoms and problems I was facing and gave me possible reasons why it could have happened. He was patient throughout and answered my questions too. I am glad that I could talk to a doctor at-least for advice and understand what is happening with me, when getting a GP appointment is so difficult . Thank you so much

Peter Carr

Professional consultation and advice on available treatments offered. Both pros and cons clearly explained. Easy to arrange a suitable appointment. Clear pricing structure. I am very pleased with my treatment and the result.

Farris Ayad

Came for a laser treatment, the clinic and the people in it are very inviting. The procedure itself was painless and went better than I expected. Finally and best of all (for me), Dr Jha was ready to reply to any message I had at the most random times of the day and had replied (within 5 minutes) to each one of my messages over the period of recovery.

Sujeet Kaza

I was beyond impressed with my experience at this clinic. My first contact was with Dr. Jha and I was completely blown away by how helpful and kind he was and how fast he was at getting back to me! A lot of doctors lack this. I was very satisfied after my treatment as promised by Doctor. Most importantly Dr. Jha was in constant touch with even after my laser surgery and took regular updates This rarely happens with other clinics. Finally, I would certainly vouch for Renew Skin and Health Clinic and recommend everybody.

Amitabh Aggarwal

We are really pleased and impressed with the service provided to us when we went to Dr Jha’s clinic for laser surgery. All the staff were helpful and Dr Jha has looked after us during and after the procedure. We had all our appointments on time. Dr Jha kept up to date with the progress daily, guiding us throughout. Exceptional service, would definitely recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had my first free consultation with Dr. Jha and it was fantastic! He took the time to listen to my concerns, provided extremely informative advice, and addressed all my questions with patience. What impressed me most was the lack of pressure to sell any products or treatments - just honest guidance and information to help me make my own decision. Highly recommend!
