What on earth is this on DS's foot?

I thought corn & applied corn plaster on Monday but it only seems to have got more pronounced since

(I only managed to grab the one quick pic before he got into bed tonight & didn't manage to catch a side angle, from which you can see it's reminiscent of a baby bunion, it stands out so much)

Any ideas?

You can buy Verucca plasters. They were the best treatment by far.

I agree with all the comments about Bazuka not being much use- years ago I was prescribed Duofilm by the GP and it’s the only think I think works. You can also buy it online and maybe OTC 🤔 if getting a GP appointment sounds like too much hard work!

I'm so glad there are plenty of over the counter treatments for verrucas now. I'm so old that, when I was a kid, the doctor used to burn verrucas (with an actual flame!) and then very roughly dig out the verrucas from my foot leaving extremely sore and painful holes! I hope you feel sorry for me. 😉

You 100% have my pitty Custardy! 😂 Ouch!

I got my first verrucas at the grand old age of 46. One on my toe, one on my finger and one on my knee, all at the same time.

I spent about 3yrs trying to get rid of them, and then, one morning, after giving up any kind of treatment for six months or so, they had all completely vanished! Not a mark left behind.

It was very odd!

I always thought verrucas were on the bottom of the foot. Is it normal to get one on the side of your toe? It does look like one

Yes, they're normal on the sides of your feet.

Thanks 👍 so funny, I was reading this thread last night then had a dream about having a massive verruca which I somehow dug out! 😱
