How do I get rid of this verucca - warning, picture included

[GizmoIsSoFluffy]

Can anyone help me with suggestions on how I can get rid of my verucca. It's starting to hurt when I walk.

I've tried bazooka, extra strong bazooka, banana skin, filing, plucking. But after many years, it's still there.

Getting desperate, any advice on how to get rid of big, nasty, old veruccas will be much appreciated. __

I had one very similar for about 5 years. It was agony and affected my walking.

I tried everything suggested above but the only thing that worked in the end was having it lasered at a SKIN Clinic. Best £100 I ever spent.

Apple cider vinegar was the only thing that got rid of mine.

Soak cotton wool in it, strap it on and change the cotton wool every day for 2 weeks.

You can almost feel it killing the verucca, it's great

Try chiropodist
I had one for years had weekly treatment for about 6 months and it wouldn’t budge. I went to Thailand for a fortnight and it went by the time I returned!!

book a holiday!

The main way is to trigger your immune system to actually recognise it so it’ll attack it. That’s what needling it does.

I'm mildly allergic to tea tree oil so I shaved mine and covered it in yea tree oil and aspirin then covered it with a plaster. Two days and it was gone. So I did the same to my son who’s had five for absolutely years, and it worked on him too.

Topi thuja cream! It primarily for warts but honestly was incredible. My son had a cluster of verrucas and I had tried everything.

Cover with dark coloured nail varnish .

Has it always been this colour? Because ime it goes black before it disappears!

Remove every night and reapply should work

Silver duct tape - it's the stickiest. Takes weeks but it works.
Also, pick at it until it bleeds on a regular basis - your body then wakes up to the attack and sends its virus fighting cells which gets rid of it.
I had a wart virus on my face and the pimple patches worked- just keep replacing when they don't stick - i suspect the patches and duct tape starve the virus so it goes. Im not a medic but those I work with all say duct tape.

If there is a minor surgery clinic at your GP practice, get it cut off. That's what I did.

Get the strongest drops you can then needle to pull that bugger out! As a swimmer when younger I had about 8 of them at one point.

Funnily enough, mine disappeared almost overnight after the birth of my first child…

You have to poison the root to death.

Clip away as much surface as you can bear with nail clippers, then use the super strength Bazooka - irs much better than the original. Leave a day or two and repeat. Each black dot needs to surface and die for the verruca to go away.

You need to cut away the surface - dig into it. -Also use really tough foot file. Once you get under that hard top layer then treat it. I had similar and nothing was penetrating it until I started hacking at it. After that it went quickly - it was calloused and hard like yours

See a podiatrist privately.

My son had 9 across both feet, we'd been using bazooka gel for months and it wasn't working, the gp said to keep doing that for another 6 months! So I paid for him to see the podiatrist. They treated them with laser treatment and acid and after only one treatment 8 of them had completely disappeared, and then a final session was enough to shift the last one.

Swift does usually work. My DD had stubborn ones for years and Swift worked in two treatments

I had one for a decade, moved counties and it was gone within a few weeks so I assume the water helped

I did swift as a last resort. I had to have five treatments. It really hurt. But what was good was that every month I’d go back with a blister and she’d scalpel it all away.
Although no one asked, here are some lovely pictures of the blackened blister, the scraped off wound and finally the state of my foot on the day I was discharged.

The verruca will only go when your immune system recognises it - that's why they seem to vanish over night (I had a massive one that did). All the other things people have suggested are simply trying to stimulate your immune system to recognize it as foreign. They may work like this but mostly it was probably going to go then anyway

I had a cluster of about 20 verruccas. The podiatrist successfully got rid of them wjth Swiift a couple of years ago. It was painful while being treated but no pain afterwards.

Either consider getting it frozen with liquid nitrogen at the doctor or alternatively,

soak your foot, take a pumice stone (only to be used on the verruca) remove as much skin as you can, add bazooka only in the centre of the verruca, let it dry and when it is dry apply a strip of gorilla tape and leave it there for 24 when you repeat the process over and over again until one day you remove the tape and the verruca comes with it leaving a nice hole behind.

According to the private podiatrist I saw, it's like a virus and you need to get it into your bloodstream. Once in your bloodstream your body will fight it and they disappear. My daughter's disappeared overnight.

I got rid of a stubborn one by shaving it with a scalpel and then holding a home cryotherapy thing on it for ages, several times. Not saying this is wise, just that it worked

Swift. For sure. I had one in nearly the exact same spot, for ten years. It did take more than the normal number of swift sessions to kill it but it worked in the end. Stick with it.

Podiatrist! That’s the only thing that worked for ones I’d had for years. It took a couple of months of weekly sessions of cutting away the surface and treating with silver nitrate but they completely disappeared. I’d tried loads of different over the counter treatments before that
