Common among children, these arise on the feet and hands, and can spread if untreated. We offer in-clinic ‘freezing’ (more potent and milder than over-the-counter ‘freezing’ variants) as well as high-concentration salicylic & lactic acid paints for home use. If you prefer, we can also arrange a ‘one-visit’ curettage & cautery (‘surgical scraping’) under local anaesthesia.
