Verruca assessment and treatment in Hurstpierpoint

Patients that are 6 years old and older.
Verrucae can be painful and stubborn, especially on weight‑bearing areas like the heel or ball of the foot.
I confirm the diagnosis and offer practical treatment options to help you get back to comfortable walking.

Diagnosis and advice at your first appointment

How many sessions are needed:
This varies with size, location and how long it’s been present. Many people see improvement over a short course of visits; we’ll agree a plan that fits you.
For children and nervous patients: I explain everything simply and go at your pace. If a child is worried, we keep things gentle.
-
What treatments are available:
Verrutop(Nitrizinc Complex is a blend of nitric acid, organic acids, zinc, and copper salts)
Salicylic Acid 60%(keratolytic (peeling) action)
Dry Needling Faulkners Technique(technique involves puncturing the verruca with a fine, sterile needle under local anaesthetic)
Ingrown Toenails & Nail Surgery
-
An ingrown toenail can be very painful and may lead to infection. I offer relief with conservative care and, when needed, a simple minor procedure (nail surgery) under local anaesthetic that can provide a permanent solution.
-
Signs you may need help:
Painful, tender nail edge that catches on shoes or bedding
Redness, swelling or discharge at the nail border
Recurrent ingrown nails that keep returning
-
Your options:
Conservative care: reduce pain and inflammation, reshape the nail edge, dressings and advice
Nail surgery: under local anaesthetic, the problematic part of the nail is removed and a chemical is applied to reduce regrowth of that section
-
Recovery and aftercare:
Take it easy for the first day; wear roomy footwear
Keep the dressing clean and dry as advised
Many people return to normal daily activities quickly; we’ll tailor advice to your job and sport
-
What the procedure is like:
Toe is fully numbed with local anaesthetic
The ingrown section is removed; the remaining nail is left neatly shaped
A sterile dressing is applied and aftercare is explained
Most people say it was far easier than they expected
-
Appointments and times:
Assessments and procedures are scheduled on Monday mornings and Tuesdays at Hurst Health Hub.
Limited out‑of‑hours appointments may be available (+£15 clinic room fee).
All new patients must book an Initial Appointment. The podiatrist will assess your condition and advise if a Nail Surgery appointment is appropriate.
