What is the difference between a Verruca and a Corn?

0

Verrucae, commonly known as a wart are often mistaken for corns and can appear anywhere on the feet. They are caused by the Papilloma Virus and infections occur generally at swimming baths and communal showers where the skin becomes moist. Verrucae are very vascular and usually develop a layer of hard skin over the surface. In the early stages, a verruca appears as a small dark mark but later turns grey. There are many treatments available including homeopathic remedies such as Tea tree Oil and Cryosurgery which removes the verrucae by freezing. All treatments are best administered on the advice of a chiropodist.
