Verruca Removal
Quick, safe, and effective verruca removal with expert cryotherapy in Nuneaton
Looking for professional verruca removal in Nuneaton? Crowhill Pharmacy offers expert cryotherapy treatments that safely freeze verrucas for fast, effective relief.
Verrucas are small, tough growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), commonly appearing on the soles of the feet. While usually harmless, they can cause discomfort, pain when walking, and can be persistent. Our trained team provides personalised assessment and treatment, helping you regain comfortable, healthy feet quickly and conveniently.
What is Cryotherapy Verruca Removal?
Cryotherapy is a method of removing verrucas by applying extreme cold to the affected area. At Crowhill Pharmacy in Nuneaton, our trained pharmacy staff use a controlled cryotherapy wand, typically employing liquid nitrogen or an equivalent cooling agent, to freeze the verruca tissue safely.
The freezing process destroys the infected cells and stimulates the body’s natural healing response. Most verrucas require one or two treatments to fully resolve. At Crowhill Pharmacy, we use cryotherapy to quickly and effectively remove verrucas, making it a trusted treatment in Nuneaton.
Who Can Benefit from Verruca Removal?
Our verruca removal service in Nuneaton is suitable for adults and children with:

—> Verrucas that have not responded to over-the-counter treatments

Cryotherapy is generally safe, but certain groups may require additional assessment or referral, including:
—> Individuals with diabetes or poor foot circulation
—> Those taking immunosuppressive medication
