Getting it frozen off. You can have this done privately.

DS2 had a nasty poking one in his finger. We bought wartner, and kept it covered with a fabric plaster, which we only took off to file it down. It has gone now - the root bit just fell off in the end

My DD had one at similar age - not sure where I heard it but I painted it with clear nail varnish and it worked! Took a few weeks I seem to remember and I was amazed. Don't ask about the science as I haven't a clue but it didn't come back.

I’ve used thuja oil for son’s wart and a verruca.

Cuplex verucca treatment and frequent filing with an Emery board.

I used to get warts on my fingers quite often when I was younger. One annoyed me as was rubbing and getting sore, so I taped a fabric plaster firmly around it, tight enough to keep the air out but obviously not so tight to cut off circulation. Kept it on for probably 10 days to a fortnight only replacing the plaster when it got a bit grubby. Wart softened and disappeared without needing anything else done.

I was so surprised at how easily it went and wondered why I'd never tried it before. Was quite disappointed that I didn't get any more warts to do it again since then!!

Thanks everyone!

Just discovered a verruca on the side of her foot too so it’s obv something she’s picked up.

Will try and see what works. I’m bizarrely pessimistic as I had a wart a few years ago that took literally years to go and nothing worked. Hopefully her immune system is better (younger!) than mine!

Duct tape - don't know why it works but it does

My son ended up with loads for some reason, luckily, despite being completely resistant to being frozen off... they fell off by them selves after around 6 months and he is now beautifully wart free and it is a pleasure to hold hands again🤣🤣

Salicylic acid, you can get it from the pharmacy and in OTC products like Salactol. You paint it on 1-2 times a day and it kills it in a couple of weeks.
