❗Verrucas are contagious, here’s how to stop them spreading! 👣
Verrucas are caused by the HPV virus, which thrives in warm, damp places like changing rooms, swimming pools and shared bathrooms. They can spread easily from person to person, or even from one part of your own foot to another.
To help prevent the spread:
• Keep feet covered in communal areas (flip-flops are ideal).
• Avoid sharing towels, socks, shoes or nail tools.
• Don’t pick or scratch the verruca, as this can spread the virus.
• Keep the verruca covered with a plaster or dressing, especially during sports or swimming.
• Change socks daily and keep feet clean and dry.
