Tape for verrucas. What's it called.

Years and years ago. I was told to buy a tape for a verucca. It looked like normal plaster tape. The beige color. Not white.
Small roll was about 7 quid.
It's completely air tight. To suffocate the bugger haha.
I remember having to go to boots and order it. The pharmacist had to look through the book to find it.

Anyway I seem to have another one come up now after 10 years. Ball of my foot.
Treatments haven't really worked. Pharmacy looked at me like I had 2 heads when I asked for this tape and said it don't exist.

I know I'm Not imagining it. As I brought 2 rolls. But stupidly got rid of it when having a clear out.

Google suggests it might be Leukoplast.

But you can just use duct tape.

Duct tape/gaffa tape/dark nail varnish will all do the same job of suffocating the verruca.

Duct tape is a good call. No one would see its on the ball of foot. It's tiny but hurts. I'll get some tomorrow

Zinc oxide tape?

Go under it with a needle and thread north to south. Then go east to west and gather threads and pull upwards, that breaks it up and clears it up in no time.

Silver spray got rid of the many I had. It was miraculous!
