How to shave off a verruca?

Don't shave warts.: Plantar warts on the feet can be pared with a bent razor blade to make them more comfortable to walk on. Shaving or paring warts in not a cure. See a dermatologist to treat your warts if you want them cured.

See a doctor: Warts (verrucae) are caused by a virus. There are a number of ways to treat them, and some are available over the counter. If you are sure this is a wart, there is probably no downside to trying one of these medicines. If the wart recurs or if you are not sure of the diagnosis, see a dermatologist. Do not shave it off yourself.
