Verrucae are very common in school-age children. They're caused by a strain of HPV that thrives in warm, damp places like swimming pool changing rooms. Most are harmless, but they can be sore to walk on and they often spread between toes or to siblings if left alone.
At Instep Footcare we focus on gentle, child-friendly care. Your podiatrist will assess the verruca and talk you through the most suitable approach for your child, always keeping their comfort front of mind.
Parents from across Altrincham, Hale, Bowdon, Sale and Greater Manchester bring their children to us because we take time to put them at ease. There's no pressure, no scary equipment, and everything is explained in language children understand.

What happens at the appointment

- 2. Gentle preparation. We trim back any hard skin over the verruca so the treatment can reach it. This is painless and feels a bit like having your nails filed.
- 3. Gentle treatment & aftercare. Your podiatrist carries out the chosen treatment and explains what to expect at home, so you and your child leave knowing exactly what happens next.
