Nitric Acid Verruca Treatment
What Does the Treatment Involve?
During your appointment, your podiatrist will:
- Assess the lesion to confirm that it is a verruca and determine its depth and severity.
- Gently debride (pare down) the thickened skin over the verruca to expose the viral tissue.
- Apply nitric acid solution directly to the verruca using a fine, controlled applicator.
- The acid reacts with the infected tissue, producing a mild whitening effect as it begins to work.
- A protective dressing is then applied to shield the area and allow the solution to continue acting over the next 24â48 hours.
Treatment sessions are typically repeated every 1â2 weeks, depending on the size, location, and response of the verruca.
