I'm sure this has probably been done before, but can anyone recommend the "best" over the counter verruca treatment, please? Or ones to avoid?

DS wouldn't let us use the freezing ones so it was salicylic acid painted on and covered with duct tape. Changed daily or twice daily for 3-4 months. We were told to file it, but he wouldn't let us near him with a file. Bizarrely he let us use nail scissors to cut off the white skin.

I used the Wartner Liquid Pen on my sons verrucas, very effective, x2 a day for 4 days and then wait for the skin to peel off, and wart fall out.

I only ever had one really stubborn one that took a second 4 day application and then was gone.

Highly recommend.

Thank you both for the recommendations. The Wartner Liquid Pen sounds a much quicker option, so I will give that a go.
