Why does my verruca hurt when I walk or put pressure on it?
A verruca can hurt when you walk or put pressure on it because it is a type of wart that grows on the sole of your foot, often causing discomfort. The pressure from walking can irritate the verruca, leading to pain as it presses against the surrounding skin and underlying tissues. This pain is typically due to the verruca being sensitive to pressure and friction.
Key points:
- Verrucas are warts that develop on the feet.
- They can become painful due to pressure and friction.
- The surrounding skin may also react to the irritation.
- Pain can be influenced by physical activity and footwear.
