Many people suffer from verrucas on their feet and find it difficult to get rid of them. Most over-the-counter remedies seem to be pretty ineffectual as far as a lot of patients are concerned. Sometimes patients actually have electrosurgery to remove the verruca but this seems like an extreme that may not be necessary.

A verruca is basically a wart that grows inward because of the pressure placed on the foot. The verruca is caused by HPV (human papillomavirus) and the body’s immune system is not recognising the virus. The Online Clinic is prepared to prescribe Aldara (imiquimod) to help eliminate verrucas. Aldara works by stimulating an immune response at the site of application. It may take several weeks to work but it is an effective treatment and it negates the necessity for invasive surgery.

You can request Aldara for the removal of verrucas by navigating to our verruca treatment page.
