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

Op go back to the podiatrist and question why the issue hadn't resolved itself and what they can do next or get a 2nd opinion even show the gp if you've been like this so long. Maybe they can test it to see what's going on. 9 years with all these treatments is too long.

Apparently, yes 😂

Literally only just noticed after your post prompted me to check. I had one for years underneath my left big toe I could never get rid of. It's no longer there!

No idea when it disappeared, might be a month ago or a year ago. Can't believe I hadn't realised.

It’s a virus, isn’t it? So no amount of interventions really work. You’re waiting for your immune system to recognise and deal with it, which it usually does eventually but it can take a very long time.

I had one for ages that I would just cut back when it got uncomfortable. It just went on its own one day.

Yes, I had a cluster of them plus a few random ones all on one foot for TEN years. Tried everything, including paying a private doctor to freeze them and nothing worked. One day I was idly inspecting my foot, couldn’t see my veruccas, thought I must be looking at the wrong foot so checked the other and - VANISHED - no veruccas! It was such a shocking and exciting moment I rang my husband at work to tell him!

Years later two of my children had clusters of veruccas at the same time as each other and they also just fell off without any treatment but only needed a few weeks, not years. They just turned black and literally fell off in bed one night. Such a strange thing, veruccas.

Yes I have. I had one for ages, tried lots of things, including freezing at the chiropodist. Nothing worked. I gave up. Whereupon it disappeared.

I was going to say- I had a cluster for years and when I started just taking care of myself - reducing stress, eating well, supplements, sleeping well- they did just disappear. Was horrible though....tried everything...think sometimes the scraping and the digging out etc is just to let your body know that it needs to send some antibodies to that location. Good luck!

I had one for years. It was huge. It eventually took about 6 months treatment at a podiatrist. First few visits were weekly. Then fortnightly. It took a lot of work to get rid of it.

I had loads on my foot for years and they went when I was pregnant - I assume all the good stuff in my body to grow my baby also helped me get rid of the virus.

DD had a cluster of warts on her fingers for a couple of years and they just went - we noticed one day they were all gone.

Mine also went after a beach holiday - quite an expensive treatment, but definitely the nicest!

I assume it's the saltwater and exfoliation of the sand?

I had a couple of them for about 4 years, tried all the treatments and made no difference except to my bank balance!

After my first COVID vaccine they reduced significantly and after my second dose they completely disappeared! I assume something to do with my immune system.

They have reappeared in past few months, and I am probably due another vaccine so fingers crossed it works again.

Mine just disappeared last summer after years of trying different treatments and pain while walking

Yes I have had one that disappeared (after many years and lots of money spent trying to have it eradicated) it disappeared spontaneously after another couple of years.

A couple of years later another huge one appeared in a different place, however ACV worked, I followed the regime religiously and after a couple of months it had faded to nothing. I was amazed!

Weirdly yes - had a stubborn one on my foot for years. It disappeared when I was pregnant and so far has never come back.

I'm having mine surgical removed. It's just in his office.

Yes, I have. I had one for 20 years, actually thought it was a corn for a long time as it never hurt or changed. Went to a chiropodist a couple of years ago as it had started hurting a bit. He said it was a verruca, filed it down and said to use bazuka stuff. I didn’t get round to the bazuka stuff and then noticed after a week it had completely gone!

I had one single massive verruca for years as a teen and I got it regularly frozen by a nurse at my GP surgery for a very long time and she’d scrape it and eventually I couldn’t be bothered anymore I stopped. The only different thing I did was wear socks less at home - tried to air it out. It also miraculously vanished shortly after that.

I had one verruca that went away by itself as a kid. It's never happened as an adult.

The thing that's worked for me is matches. Light one, blow out, straight into the verruca or wart. Mine have always gone away with that since I started trying.

Yes. They are caused by a virus and your body can eradicate the virus eventually. I had one foot completely covered with them and after quite a few years they just all vanished pretty much overnight.

Had one for years and had tried everything with no success, then read a thread on here about using nail varnish. Worked immediately- no sign at all of it now even though previous treatments just seemed to make it larger and left a big crater on my foot.

I tried loads and stuck woth duct tape. Keeping the same piece as long as possible. You really have to stick with it because it will work, it might take ages though but you have to really stick with it and not decide that it isnt working and change methods.

When DS had one I asked GP (was there for something else) what the current recommended treatment was. He said leave it alone, it will eventually go on its own and he'll have immunity. It did and he's never had another in nearly 20 years, despite being a very regular swimmer.

Yes - trued all the usual 'home' treatments, saw a podiatrist etc but nothing changed (tbh it never hurt or caused pain just looked unsightly) but after about ten years it just disappeared.... no idea how !

I’d really recommend going to a podiatrist and getting a weekly treatment of nitrous oxide. This was the only thing that worked on my 9 year old daughter. They do an initial consultation first. I think we were paying around £40 every week, one week was free but after a month or so all verrucas completely disappeared.

We have not had to bother with any creams or treatments following the podiatrist sessions.

My daughter used pickles ointment after months of treatment. She had mosaic verrucas.
The ointment seemed to help but getting the hpv jab which was then new seemed to finish them off.
