Ds verruca bane of my life

I caught it early, it was a tiny dot when I started treating it with bazuka and those plasters with the paste inside. It's gone very dry and almost looks like a round circle of dead skin that you could pick off, does this sound like it's on the way out ?
I'm so sick of reminding ds to leave his sock on before he walks around the house etc

I believe it does suffocate it, the US army did a study on it and apparently it works better than freezing! A very small one, hope it clears soon,

I painted DS's with black nail varnish every night, let it dry then put a sock on for overnight in bed for two weeks and voila. It fell out and left a hole and has never come back.
