On a thread a few days ago, several people mentioned using hand sanitising gel on their verrucas had worked a treat.
After a bath, file verruca down, rub on gel, repeat.

Worth a try.

Are you doing a survey SPB ? Grin

My tip is Glutarol liquid (available from all good pharmacies about £4) plus filing.

I can file dry skin but verrucas....urrrrrrrgh

Is this a Verruca Mumsnet Survey?

Vaseline is the answer.

You need to massage your foot to get the immune system working.

Banana peel. Supposedly you put it on every night, under a plaster and it will be gone within a week. My slightly lentil weavery friend did this when less woo methods had failed and it worked.

Duct tape or those competed blister plasters. Leave plaster on til it falls off, file it and replace. It makes verruca grow out instead of in, then one day the verruca will fall out with the plaster. Honestly, it works a treat! About 2-3 was in total.
