Warts and
verrucas are small lumps on the skin that most people have at some point in
their life. They usually go away on their own but may take months or even
years. Warts do not cause you any harm but some people find
them itchy, painful or embarrassing. Verrucas are more likely to be painful –
like standing on a needle.
You can treat warts if they bother you, keep coming back or are painful. A pharmacist can help
with warts and verrucas. You can buy creams, plasters and sprays from pharmacies to get rid of
warts and verrucas.
