Please help with DD’s verucca

[Soubriquet]

Dd (10) has a verucca. She’s had it for about 3 months now. I’ve tried two different treatments. Wartie and excilor and apart from the skin thickening, it’s still there! She complains about it being painful. Anyone got any stuff that actually works

Honestly dark nail varnish and duct tape works wonders! After a few days I can usually pick some out with a needle. My son keep picking them up from swimming lessons and I find the over the counter stuff does very little!

https://www.theindependentpharmacy.co.uk/warts-verrucas/duofilm is what DS's podiatrist recommended. It stinks but seems to be doing the job.

Thanks. I’ll give that a go

Silver nitrate worked for my dd's verucca. Recommended to me by a podiatrist. Its a little stick a bit like a pen, which you apply daily for 7 days. It stains everything though so wear old socks and keep it away from fabrics!

Silver Nitrate was a godsend during my battle with a 10 year old verruca. Not nice getting it on the surrounding skin though, did not enjoy the resulting chemical burn.

Apple cider vinegar and duct tape ... Absolutley brilliant . Put on every night with cotton wool so its soaked and sock over the top . It will start to come out , then pumice stone and repeat. On my daugher we stopped when the skin was a bit tender but kept with the vinegar one evening after bath the whole thing just came out !

This 100% works. We wasted months of over the counter treatment trying to get rid of my little boy's verucca. I only tried this as a last resort and it was gone in around a week.

Boots own freezing treatment worked for mine. Needed a couple of goes but luckily all gone now. Mine was painful as well.

I got the advice on here to use black/v dark nail varnish and it worked. Can't remember how long it took but less than a month.

We used valuable extra strength... and were religious with the filing. You have to irritate it somehow to provoke the immune response

Cover it with a piece of banana peel, attached using plasters, every night. After about two weeks my daughter's verruca just fell off.

Tried the duct tape thing for ages and nail varnish for even longer. Tried some wart plasters from Amazon suggested by whoever the gp got to phone me back as they couldn’t be bothered (do not use these, made a big hole in the foot but didn’t get rid of the verruca). Saw a podiatrist for a number of very expensive treatments and by the end of it she had about 10 veruccas. Used some Bazuka and they were all gone within a couple of months. Will charitably assume all the silver nitrate and faffing the podiatrist did before that helped prepare the ground!

What does the dark nail polish do? I’ve been treating 5, which started as 2 but keep fucking spreading, on my DD for almost 3 months now with salicylic acid (I think, it certainly stinks) and it’s doing nothing. Planning on the gp after Xmas to see about having them frozen.

Bazuka extra strength. Not the normal one - it's rubbish. Gone in less than a week and that's with an out-of-date tube I found in my MIL's bathroom cabinet!

I got rid of one with Bazuka but it took ages. A podiatrist suggested filing it with a nail file every day as well.
