Children talk about warts
It is estimated that one in three children between the ages of 4 and 12 will experience a Verruca1; so, we thought we would ask them a few questions to see what they knew. See for yourself in the videos below.
What is a Verruca?
Verruca's come in all shapes and sizes and are most common on the hands and feet. However they can effect any part of the body.
They develop on the soles of feet and tend to be flat rather than raised.

How do you get a Verruca?
Warts and Verrucas are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). They can spread via human contact but also from objects such as towels that are shared, swimming pools and public showers. Although not everybody who comes into contact with wart viruses becomes infected.
