I’ve been meaning to ask my GP but keep forgetting! Does anyone know if verruca treatment is safe to use if breastfeeding? All of the advice on the boxes just says to speak to a doctor before use

Verruca is a wart caused by a virus (HPV) and usually occurs on the sole or under the toes. They generally will disappear of their own accord but are often treated to lessen transmission as well as relieve pain. Due to the pressure on the foot the wart is pushed inwards and a layer of hard skin may develop over it. They look like miniscule cauliflowers with tiny black spots in the centre. Most over the counter treatments involve applying a chemical such as salicylic acid to remove the dead surface skin cells (Bazuka®, Wartner®). Freezing of the skin destroys the cell structure of the wart and has become more popular in over the counter products (Scholl®, Wartie®, Bazuka Sub Zero®) and may be performed by the GP or podiatrist. Products can be used by breastfeeding mothers without affecting their breastmilk or baby.
