To ask if you've ever had a verruca spontaneously resolve after so many years?

I had several on my foot and toes for about 7 years, had tried everything including trips to the podiatrist to no avail and then one day I realised they had all vanished.

I think long term stress and anxiety meant my immune system couldn’t fight them, then when my life got better my verrucas vanished!

Try taking vitamin supplements.

I had one on each foot for around 5 years and then they suddenly disappeared.

I would think they appeared when I was maybe 43 and disappeared at 48ish.

Bizarre as I assumed they would just stay forever after trying all sorts of treatments and giving up. I'd done nothing with them in the 3 years prior to them disappearing.

Actually yes. I got one towards the end of primary school, my mum did the usual treatment, which hurt and weren't effective, so 10 year old me decided not to tell her it hadn't gone. I buried my head in the sand for years, intimitenly tried otc treatments in late teens, which never worked. Then it just disappeared of it own accord in my early 20's.

Yep, I had several that kept getting bigger and spreading. I had them for years and tried all over the counter remedies, I tried the high strength stuff you can only get from the pharmacist, I filed them regularly, I went to the GP and had multiple sessions of freezing. Nothing worked and they were painful.

Then suddenly they cleared up, it was at a time when I wasn't using anything on them and they just grew out.

Really weird.

I've had one which cleared itself after a while (months not years I think).
One of my sons (can't remember which....ahem) had an absolute plethora of them on one foot. He did try all the usual OTC remedies, which didn't do much, but then did just clear eventually.

Had a huge one for a number of years around 15 years ago. It was under one of my big toes. Tried everything and even had regular treatment with a podiatrist. She said it was very deep and it would bleed terribly if she tried to do anything with it. She said they can be stress related and will just go when they are ready to but I don't know how true that is.

Suddenly one day I noticed it had become harder and I was able to dig around and pulled it out completely. It left a big hole but only a tiny bit of blood. It then healed and never came back. Never had one since.

I had a huge verruca on my heel for about 4 years , had it frozen by the doctor a couple of times , nothing , tried all treatments known to mankind , nothing , it just sat there , huge then one day I looked and it was gone , no shrinkage just from huge to not there

I was about to write exactly the same thing. I guess it might have something to do with the immune system changing in pregnancy. It's quite an extreme cure method though!

DC had a verruca on the side of one of his big toes. He was quite young and treating it was difficult and a bit hit and miss. The verruca went black and fell off on summer hols.

I had one on the ball of my foot. Had swift, it was excruciating. I would say as bad as child birth, but as I gave birth under general anaesthetic I don’t actually know

Yes, but I don’t know how. I recently visited a podiatrist with what I thought was a corn. I was told it was not a corn but hard skin that had grown in an extinct veruca. I didn’t know I had one in the first place !

My partner had loads of verrucas a few years back. I never caught them.

One day we just realised that they had all gone so they can just suddenly push off.

When DS was about 9 a wart appeared on his knee. It kept getting bigger and eventually was the size of a pea.

One day DH got him to rub it with a piece of raw meat, which he then buried in a secret place in the garden.

The wart was gone in a week, you could almost see it shrinking! No one knows why, but they do just go.

Yes, when I was a child. I had it for years, it grew to the size of my little finger nail and was very painful to walk on.

I even had to have it burnt off in a hospital under GA, which still didn't work. It just came back again.

Eventually it just came away. It was joyous, I think I'd given up by then and thought it would just be with me for ever.

I went on a weekend away to a place that had a hot tub. I've no idea what chemicals they used in it but my verucca had gone within a couple of days ... I'd had it for years.

Yes, was quite sudden. Bloody awful having one isn't it

I was was about to post this. Pregnancy got rid of mine after it had hung about since student days ( and shared showers). I thought it might have been coincidence because actually pregnancy usually lowers your immune system ( in order to tolerate the baby); but perhaps it was just like rebooting a laptop and my immune system took stock of all the foreign things on board, kept the baby, but dumped the verrucca!

Yes I had one for 10 years which resolved quickly after I gave up my horrible stressful job.

Yes. Same with warts.

I had 11 on one foot as a young adult; they all disappeared overnight after several years. Same thing happened regarding a wart on my finger. Just vanished.

My daughter had them for years as a child. Nothing worked. Then one day they just vanished. It was weird!

Oh boy, have I got a story for you!

I've ALWAYS had verrucas. Since I can remember, I've had all the treatments, had to wear the rubber sock thing - nothing really worked. As a teen I developed masses of them on the balls of both feet which were sometimes quite painful to walk on.

Anyway - gradually they subsided and by the time I was in my 30s I just had a lingering couple that I'd periodically use a nail file to scrape down.

Now - I'm 41 - I have none. At some point in the last 2 years they all disappeared. I don't know why, I don't know how - but they're gone. I still have manky toenails but those are (according to the podiatrist) caused by damage to the nail bed rather than fungal. Certainly nothing seems to sort them out.

Try soaking it in heavily salted water every day. This was my dm's treatment for them and it seemed to work.

They're caused by a virus so will resolve eventually. I've had ones disappear.

I have 2 on same part of toe that won't go, so last week I tried microneedling them at home (better to have it done by a clinician)!
It's meant to stimulate the body's immune response to them by irritating the skin under the verruca. Will let you know if it works!
