Verrucas & Warts

At Active Step we know how frustrating verrucas can be and how they make you want to hide your feet or think twice about going to the swimming pool.

What Causes Verrucas and Warts?

Verrucas can appear anywhere on your body, but they’re most common around the toes or fingers.

Verrucas are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which gets caught when the skin is compromised by a cut or scrape, and are usually spread in communal areas such as swimming pools, showers and athletic facilities. Verrucas tend to be more common in children than adults.
