To ask your ultimate verruca treatment?!

[SoAngryArghh]

Exactly that!! Eldest DC has a very painful verruca on large toe underneath - is affecting walking and everyday activities!!

So we're trying salactol now and I've ordered duct tape.

Peeing in the shower and tea tree oil but I found having chicken pox at 36 caused it to disappear. Bit drastic but it wasn't intentional.

Duct tape worked a treat with my DS and was a cheap too!!

Avoca - got it from doctor (can buy it from boots, Amazon). Silver nitrate pen, dab into drop of water and put on verruca then plaster over. File away dead skin before each application. Worked like a dream but don't get it on your skin, worktop, clothes cos it stains like mad!

Nail varnish painted over it every night for about 10 days-I couldn't believe it worked!

Hard foot file, salicylic acid (maybe the stuff you've got is this?) and bandage/tape. File, apply, bandage/tape, repeat....

I've had brilliant success with Bazooka. One of my kids had a big whopper, so I bought it on the pharmacist's advice and within four days the whole thing dropped out leaving a crater I could then file down.

I've tried a few of these wiry varied success. Not sure which worked as tried several in conjunction (garlic, banana, duct tape and filing) but it got rid of all but the biggest.

I do know someone who swears blind that eating a part of the verruca got rid of all of theirs within a couple of days. (Stimulates an immune response apparently). I didn't try that one...

I used an acid once and it left a crater. Then it grew back

I feel like I've tried everything over the years with no success. I've had mine for well over 10 years and have just had my second Swift treatment. They press a wand against them that microwaves them. It costs a fortune and hurts like no pain I've ever had before. Apparently it gets results though for people who just can't shift them. Next treatment in four weeks....

Over the counter freezing stuff worked for DD - wartner, scholl? Took 3 goes, 2 weeks apart.

Over the counter cream and also filing it with a nail file every night for a while after a shower so it was soft. After a few days the middle part of the verruca came out. Left a hole but it's fine now.

File then cream. So the cream is actually getting into the verucca and kills it.

File it with a cardboard nail file every day (not so that it hurts) and cover it with tea tree oil. The whole of the underside of my big toe was covered during my teens and after trying many things this seemed to work .

(Although they do clear up on their own so could have been coincidence but this was on the advice of the chiropodist where I had a Saturday job)

To add, you have to keep doing it everyday for a good few days / weeks depending on how bad it is

DD had 5 veruccas last year (won't be going back to that pool for lessons! ). I tried all of those things. The only thing that worked in the end was the Boots ice thingy that you are only supppsed to do once. We did it 3 nights in a row. Nothing happened. About a week later they went black. I thought it was because it was summer and she was prancing around the place barefoot and they were just dirty. Next thing she was able to pick the feckers off. They did leave craters.

Not meaning to hijack, but does anyone have any suggestions for verucca clusters? After getting just one several years ago I now have loads of them on both feet. Silver nitrate didn't work, nor did over the counter things. The problem is that I have so many, I'd need to cover half my foot in duct tape or superglue!

Thuja tablets from tinternet and lemon oil twice a day, worked for a massive and I mean massive wart.

I had loads at one point because I was on immune suppressant medication and NOTHING I tried at home worked. I ended up going to a podiatrist not expecting they could do anything that did eventually get rid of the bastard things. I just wish I'd gone there in the first place as it would have saved all the pissing about with vinegar and duct tape. Per session it wasnt expensive but it did take quite a long time for them all to go.

I tried everything - EVERYthing! - over about 18 months without success, infact, they spread and were often very painful. I then cured them completely very quickly by taking the following recipe twice a day, 5 days on, 2 days off:

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (organic, with the mother, unpasteurized)
Half teaspoon sodium bicarbonate
In a glass of water

Alongside this, I also used iodine directly on them.

They cured completely within 2 weeks.
(Just to add that this was an adult's treatment and not for a child.)

Duck tape/gaffer tape. Cheap, works.

Or cut them out with a swiss army knife. Which was my preferred method as a teen.

Go to a podiatrist- private if you have to. My dh was told to put up with it. Bollocks to that. The podiatrist did a "pushing it back into the foot " thing. It's about 60% successful on the first go. It needs local anaesthetic so not uneventful. Against the run of play for us, it worked first time. We paid private. I used to be against taking the private option but it avoided more months of misery and pain for him.

Cider apple vinegar worked like magic for us.

Ds has a verucca that I'm trying to treat with salyclic acid from the chemist but he won't let me near him with a nail file or even my nail to pick off the upper bit. Its on an awkward spot at the top of the ball.of his foot, right where it meets his toes. He's only 4.5 and has been completely freaking out about it, reacting massively to the discomfort of the treatment and I think we're not rally tackling it properly as a result. I'm thinking super glue might be a better option at this stage.

Get a small piece of raw meat, bury it in the garden, walk round it three times. As it rots, so will the verruca.

Well that's what my DM said. I found duct tape effective.
