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

I’ve had a verruca on and off for 25 years. I’ve tried everything over the years to get it to go but the only thing that’s ever shifted it was two beach holidays where it went and stayed away for about 2 years each time but came back again in the same place after going to the local swimming pool again.

Yes I had one for 15 years tried all sorts on it in the beginning and then one day on holiday I noticed it had completley gone.

YES! It was fascinating, if you're in to that sort of thing! I had it for about maybe seven years and tried ALL the treatments from getting it frozen, gouged out, all the chemist things and the mad internet things like duct taping banana skins on etc etc. In the end it just disappeared almost overnight and left a big crater on the sole of my foot, but no evidence of the verruca at all (and it was a BEAST). Foot went back to being totally normal.

I had one for over 20 years, it became a lockdown project for me and I succeeded in getting rid at the second attempt. Salicylic acid patches and filing with a scholl foot roller/sander thing did the trick. But you have to carry on until it is absolutely all out. That's why mine came back.

Your immune system can clear them. Dcs all disappeared spontaneously in a few days. I got rid of one with salicylic acid as a child but it left a scar.

@Rainbowsponge Lol - glad it’s not just me!

Really oddly mine went after about 25 years when I had radiotherapy following a mastectomy. Slightly drastic though.
I would suggest going to a private chiropodist where they will get rid if it. It involves making it smaller, cutting it out, tgen putting some sort of fuck off drug in the cavity. But that’ll cost about £200

Why don't you guys go to the foot doctors who do the surgical removal thing?

Yep. Tried various home treatments to no avail, decided to move on with my life and forget about it. One day it was just gone. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I had several on my foot and they just disappeared after many years and many attempts to get rid of them. It was very bizarre.

Yes
I had loads as a young teen.
Went in the sea on holiday and they disappeared within weeks

Me too! I had a cluster of about 8 🤮 there for YEARS and nothing worked. I know it sounds mad but I started supplements, ignored them, then a few months later I looked and they were gone! Bizarre

I’ve never had a verruca but I did have a wart on my knee as a teen that spontaneously disappeared after I’d tried everything on it.

Hi,

I had a similar issue, tried everything for years including professional treatments. I gave up.

Then one day I noticed that they’d gone. The key difference was I’d been taking magnesium & multivitamins on a daily basis for 2-3 months to improve my general health (not my feet lol). I genuinely believed it helped my immune system get rid of them. Long standing verrucae can be a sign of weaker immune health.

It’s worth considering, it can’t hurt. I hope you find something that works.

I thought the doctors could like numb the foot/area and like physically remove it and dig it out

I've been prone to them my whole life but I don't have any at the moment. No treatment works. You just have to wait for your immune system to be triggered and then they disappear by themselves. I had one cluster of 3 for over 10 years but once my immune system went into action, after I walked bare foot on a sharp pebble beach when my flip flops broke and paddled in the salt water, they disappeared really quickly. It's not definitely linked but that's what happened directly before they disappeared.

I've had 6 or 7 verrucas (sequentially, not at the same time) and I never treated any of them. They all went away on their own and I don't have any at the moment.

Most lasted 2 or 3 years, but my first one lasted 8 or 9. I suddenly noticed one day it wasn't there.

yes, I had a really painful large one in the middle of the ball of my foot for over 10 years- at its worst I had 18 smaller ones on the surrounding skin and toes, and it was agony to walk on and looked revolting.
Had the worst of them frozen multiple times and was prescribed a daily treatment for them but they still persisted. I stayed at a hotel that had a jacuzzi and pool - I wore a tight fitting rubber swim sock on my bad foot (as I always did when swimming) but some chemical in that jacuzzi made my foot tingle and sting like mad, and a few days later the large verucca completely fell off my foot and a week later it was healed, and all of the smaller ones had started to clear up as well. A month later and they had all gone. Whether it was the combination of the ongoing treatments I was having, a total coincidence of the timing, or the chemicals in that particular jacuzzi I will never know- but my foot has remained verucca free since then.

Yes. I had one for about 10 years and tried everything. It went the minute I fell pregnant.

Yes happened to me. I got a lot when I was younger and also warts on my hands, tried everything would never budge and they all eventually just disappeared never to reappear. Hope I haven't jinxed myself now!

I've had one on my foot for 22 years and no treatments have shifted it. I've not tried the microneedling but pretty much everything else.

I did have some warts / verrucas on my hands when I was young and they all disappeared overnight while on holiday. I'd had them for around 6 years at that point. I always assumed it was either the sun or the seawater that did it but who knows.

Thuja is good

Yes I had a huge one, tried many treatments, randomly disappeared after about 10 years

I had one on the sole, heel area of my foot as a teenager. Stayed for years. Was huge, and felt like I had a hole in my foot. Never treated it (incredibly lazy) and then one day it sort’ve rose to the surface and I easily picked it out. Never returned, even when my kids got them. There is definitely hope! If you are going on a beach holiday, walk as much as you can barefoot along the shore/sea in case it helps

Yes, there is hope. I had one for years and years, it resisted everything and was massive. One day it just went, not in response to anything I’d done, just pouf
