Most of us will get a verruca or wart at least once in our life, usually before the age of 20. More than one in ten people in the UK have a verruca or wart at any one time and nearly half wait at least three months before taking any action. This can make them painful and harder to get rid of, so identifying them and treating them promptly is key. Bazuka is a treatment used for treating verruca and warts.
How to identify verruca, wart, corn and calluses?
Verrucas – Verrucas appear on your feet, most often on the sole of the foot. They have tiny black dots under the hard skin and range in size from 1mm to over 1cm. They usually grow deep into the skin and appear as areas of flat, thicker skin with a harder edge around a softer centre. They have a rough surface and are surrounded by a raised edge.
Warts – Warts are small, skin-coloured excess growths of skin. They feel firm and rough and can appear on palms, knuckles, knees and fingers. They can be as small as 1mm or as big as 1cm in diameter and can occur on their own or in clusters.
Normally warts are not harmful, but some people find them itchy, painful or embarrassing. Verrucas are more likely to be painful – like standing on a needle.
Corns & Calluses – Corns and calluses are areas of hard, thickened skin that develop when the skin is exposed to excessive pressure or friction. They commonly occur on the feet, but could occur anywhere, particularly on the palms of hands or knuckles.
Bazuka and Wart Treatment
If left untreated, verrucas and warts can spread and become painful. Verrucas can be sore to stand or walk on. Verrucas and warts could spread in the same area as well as to other areas of the body and to other people. Generally speaking, the earlier they are treated the easier they are to get rid of.
