Verrucae (Plantar Warts)

Verrucae are warts on the sole of the foot caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV); most clear on their own without treatment, but our HCPC-registered podiatrists can help when one is painful, spreading, or persistent.

Corns

A corn (heloma) is a small, deep area of hardened skin with a central core that forms where pressure or friction is concentrated, most often on the toes, and our HCPC-registered podiatrists can safely reduce it and treat the cause.

Plantar skin of the foot

Calluses & Cracked Heels

Calluses are areas of thickened, hardened skin that build up under pressure and friction, and when they form on a dry heel they can split into painful cracks (heel fissures) that may bleed or become infected.

Fungal Nail Infection

Fungal nail infection (onychomycosis) thickens, discolours and crumbles the nail, and treatment is slow with a real chance of recurrence — our HCPC-registered podiatrists confirm the diagnosis and plan realistic care at our Canary Wharf clinic.
