At Verrica Pharmaceuticals, we are dedicated to easing the strain of hard-to-treat viral skin infections affecting millions of underserved patients. We are initially developing a topical therapy for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum, a highly contagious and primarily pediatric viral skin disease, and common warts. There is currently no FDA-approved treatment nor is there an established standard of care for either of these diseases, resulting in significant undertreated populations in two of the largest unmet needs in dermatology.
