To ask for verruca treatments

[BrassTactical]

DD1 has 2 big stubborn verrucas. I’ve frozen them 3 times so we are maxed on that treatment.

What next? Is it a nurse practitioner thing??

I painted over my stubborn one with black nail varnish as advised by Google and it did the trick (could be a coincidence though, it may have been ready to die anyway). Had to throw the varnish away after though.

My foot has gone a bit weird where the verruca was now though. I had a massive hole in my foot, now I have a weird, hard flap of skin over it that's really painful What the hell is that about?

Soak the foot in a tub of Apple cider vinegar for as long as possible. Then soak a cotton pad in the vinegar and tape it to the verruca over night. We tried so many things and that worked overnight. It came out whole and left an indent where it was.

Duct tape worked for me. I had one for over a year; tried salicylic acid, filing etc., but nothing made any difference whatsoever to it. Read about using duct tape, thought what the hell, may as well give it a shot, and three (easy and painless) weeks later it was gone!

Just gone into denial with ds2's. Caught it when it was new but it resisted everything that Ds2 (severely autistic) would tolerate.

Ie no chance of duct tape.

This was discussed on radio 4’s Inside Health programme last week. They recommended salicylic acid (Verugon, Salactol). You can order from online chemists. High street chemists as well too, I suppose. It was part of a discussion on treatments that the NHS will no longer fund.

bazuka and a good pumice stone did the trick on mu daughter's.

Try the verruca plasters

Worked wonders

My 11yr old ds sufferered for over a year, even had multiple visits to GP to freeze them but no luck. Chiropodist advised that you need to make them bleed by scraping/filing then she applied silver nitrate (you can buy in pencil form off Amazon) and covering with plaster/tape. 2 visits with her and the entire cluster of them have completely cleared up!

@IncyWincy23 no plaster. I just put the gel on at night and again in the morning. It is fast drying so just wafted my foot in the air for a few seconds and then was fine! I had a cut on my foot that I was using the gel for, so just thought 'oh I'll give this a go' and it literally cleared up so quickly!

I swear by dandelion... I have had stubborn warts and verrucas for years and had tried everything. Read somewhere that dandelions help remove then . So over the summer, everyday for a week I used to pick the flowers and duct tape them over the warts. I was surprised at how quickly they vanished. Now and then you do need to file the area. You may still find some stray dandelion about before proper winter hits UK.

Duct tape or Bazuka and plaster. Worked a treat on me.

Silver nitrate at the gp was the only thing that worked after Bazuka duct tape cider vinegar banana skin.... we tried everything and it had to be treated twice

I had one for decades and the only thing that worked was clear nail varnish!

After trying Bazuka, duct tape, tea tree oil etc, etc. I had mine frozen professionally by a podiatrist and also had the silver nitrate treatment. Cost me £40. The bastard still didn’t disappear and is still with me two years later. I’ve given up trying to get rid of it.

My son was plagued for over a year and nothing worked. In desperation we went to a chiropodist who filed and scraped but basically said the body has to remember it's there and then it will fight it. She recommended banana skin and we laughed. However, 2 weeks of banana skin (the inside against the foot) stuck to the foot overnight each night and they were gone. Apparently banana skin has some enzyme which triggers the immune system
