Nail Surgery, Verruca Removal and Aftercare
Minor surgery covers a range of common, targeted procedures that can significantly improve comfort and day-to-day function, particularly when symptoms are persistent or recurrent. This area of care often includes treatments for nail and skin-related problems, such as ingrown toenail removal, nail surgery, and verruca removal. Many patients try conservative measures first, but when problems return, become painful, or affect normal walking and footwear, a minor procedure may be the most effective next step.
A consultation will assess the cause of your symptoms, how long they have been present, and what treatments you have already tried. The goal is to provide a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan that is proportionate to the problem. Where minor surgery is recommended, you will receive straightforward guidance on what happens on the day, expected healing time, and aftercare. For nail procedures, this includes advice on dressings, activity levels, and how to reduce the likelihood of recurrence. For verrucae and other skin lesions, treatment options and aftercare are explained in practical terms.
This section includes pages on verruca removal (also referred to as plantar wart treatment), ingrown toenail removal and related approaches such as the Winograd procedure where clinically appropriate. Each page outlines who the treatment helps, what to expect during recovery, and when to seek further advice.
If you are looking for minor foot procedures, ingrown toenail surgery, or verruca surgery options, the pages below provide clear information and the most suitable route to arrange an appointment.
Verruca Removal
Verrucae (plantar warts) can be painful and stubborn, especially on weight-bearing areas of the foot. When conservative treatment is unsuccessful or symptoms persist, verruca removal may be considered.
Ingrown Toenail Removal
Ingrown toenails can cause swelling, tenderness and recurrent infection, often making footwear and walking uncomfortable. When symptoms persist or keep returning, ingrown toenail removal may be recommended.
