Posting for traffic - what is this?

Morning all!

After several months of trying everything, I think I've finally defeated the stubborn verruca on the sole of DS's foot. Now this thing has turned up! 😫
Is it another verruca?? Under his toenail?? He says its hurting him when he has shoes on (although he's not quite back into the swing of school yet and is trying every excuse going)

I cant get into the docs as it's still phone appt only. Any ideas?

What is this?

This is something that should be posted in www.mumsnet.com/Talk/general_health

I rarely get replies on health board. It's not as busy as AIBU.

Hard to know- most likely a wart or veruca. Try a strip of duct tape this time, see if that sorts it while it's still small.

Are you sure his shoes fit? He may just need to size up.

It looks more like a burst blister to me. Are his shoes rubbing?

His shoes definitely fit, I had them measured very recently. It's a bit crusty... I think I'll try the duct tape approach... thanks!
