March 24, 2009
Outdoor sports or other pastimes like dancing are a great way to stay fit. These are things that people enjoy doing and which at the same time can also help maintain health. However, should a person contract a skin infection like verruca warts, it could stop these extra-curricular activities completely.
What are verruca warts?
Verruca warts are caused by viral infection and can be seen on the feet and hands. This type of warts is mostly seen on the balls of the feet. Although in appearance it is very much like a regular wart, it can be even more serious. This is because a person’s body weight falls completely on the wart and this could make it more painful and sore.
What do they look like?
Verruca warts have a soft centre but look like they are flat and have a thick skin along with a hard edge. If they are looked at closely, small black spots are visible on the verruca. The spots are a result of bleeding in the warts due to standing or walking on them.
These can be contagious and can spread viruses if they break on hard floors like swimming pool or bathroom floors.
Verruca wart treatment
There are oils, medicines and ointments that make very effective verruca wart treatments. Individuals should wear sandals or shower socks in showers and refrain from swapping shoes to prevent the spread of this infection.
