Any miracle verruca solutions?

[Jany3200]

My dd has a quite a large verruca on her foot, we were told for a few years it would go away on its own but after around 4 years it’s just got bigger and more painful. She struggles walking on it for long periods of time especially when she is at work as she’s on her feet the whole time. She is always trying to walk on the side of her foot to avoid pressure on the verruca as it’s painful. We did speak to a pharmacist in who had a quick look at it and said that she doesn’t think any treatment will work only minor surgery due to how bad it is and the fact that nothing else has worked. We’ve tried duct tape which ended up giving her really red irritated skin, we tried different over the counter verruca products, filing it down every day, I’ve even been at it with a Stanley knife . Are there any miracle solutions any of you have used that you’d be willing to share? It’s so painful and she really wants to get rid of it

My daughter is 17. I caught one in hospital when I had her. I can't get rid of it. It heals up and then I get another one in a different place. I have tried everything thuja, freezing, salactol, duct tape. I have a low immune system the GP said that's why I can't get rid of it.

Tried apple cider vinegar and tea tree oil too.

I had one for about 7 years, I tried everything - including freezing.

The reason it disappeared is because I accidentally spread the virus to a new site! The verruca lasts because your body doesn't see it as a threat, and doesn't trigger an immune response. One day I was scraping it back and I had an open cut on my thumb.

A verruca started to appear on my thumb, but they they both disappeared immediately! I put it down to my body recognising the baddy on my thumb, and those same antibodies taking care of my foot.

Obviously don't purposely spread a verruca though 😳

Mine has never spread thankfully it must be there over a decade now.
Apparently it you split it with a scalpel your body will attack.

I had a wart on my hand for years and after every trick in the book.

I used Pickles hard skin ointment every day for a week. You need to be sure the ointment doesn't get on normal skin.

It went!

I had one for years that I couldn't get rid of. Eventually applying tea tree oil several times a day got rid of it.

DD has recalcitrant warts on her hands - she has had them for about 6 years. She got three of the biggest ones frozen off at the dr's but one of them grew back as an enormous mosaic wart. I've finally had success using pumice and salactol every night without fail, it's been about 4 months and most of the biggest ones are gone. More are growing though poor kid. I

I have also read on here that if you eat a bit of your wart/verucca this helps your immune system to notice it...

My podiatrist told me that you need to 'irritate' so that your body recognises that it's something to fight. I filed it down several times a week and used a drop of salicyclic (wrong spelling I know!) acid on it, the type used in facial skincare. Two weeks and it was gone!

The inside of banana skin, not the yellow side 😊

@FancyAnOlive Has the gp done any investigations to check for an autoimmune disorder if they are reoccurring.
I know they're viral there must be something causing it poor kid.
My Dsis had loads as a DC she is immune compromised.

Duct tape worked for us. About 2 weeks and then they just peeled off and left holes in DDs foot. It was gross but strangely satisfying.

DD had a massively stubborn one.

Soaked it nightly and poked repeatedly with a pin. Apparently it agitates it and it concentrates on the attacked area so the root bit let’s go.

Worked for DD. It was mahoosive!

Tea tree oil

freeze verrucae at home. Used on DS successfully. Needs doing two or three times but one can is enough for that.

Salactol was the only thing that shifted mine. I must have had it over four years and tried everything including going to doctors and podiatrist.

I tried all the different options on my daughter - nothing worked until I used a dark nail varnish, totally cover it and repeat every day adding to it and filing down every couple of days. 2 weeks later and it was gone.

The nail varnish has to be dark and has to cover the whole area.

My daughter had a lot of small ones for years and we were told they would just go. They didn't, then someone recommended Thuja homeopathy treatment from Boots. I was sceptical but she was desperate. However, it actually worked! Definitely give it a try, it's not expensive and easy to take.

I tried pretty much everything on here with no luck for a year so finally caved and went to a podiatrist. She initially tried Silver Nitrate on mine, but it didn't work so have gone for Swift (microwave) treatment. It hurts a bit (a bit like laser hair removal) and is not cheap £60 per session) but it's definitely working. I have had 2 sessions and I think a third one will finish them off completely.

My husband had a verruca lasered off a few years ago. I think it was quite new technology at the time. No sign of it since.

She needs to get dry needling done, I used to do it, works a treat.
It involves deadening the foot with a local anaesthetic ankle block into the ankle obviously, and using a needle piercing the verruca 100 plus times until it looks like raw mince.
You only need to do the worst one. It stimulates the immune system into healing it.
I had a success rate of 9/10. It's about £200.
I work for the NHS now and we don't do it on the NHS sadly you have to go private.

Thuja pills internally to fight the infection. Tea tree oil on the veruccas. No filing. Eventually you will see the black roots coming to the surface and can get them out with tweezers.
This was successful for my son who had suffered for years. This was the advice of a podiatrist.

Duc tape works! My chiropodist friend recommended it and I thought they’d lost the plot but it does work!

Go to a podiatrist/chiropodist.

I had what every doctor that I saw thought were plantar warts – tried all the usual treatments for years, and then a new doctor finally said that she worried about treating them and to go to a podiatrist.

It turned out that they were actually about 8-10 corns on the soles of my feet, and it took about three years of treatment but ultimately they went away completely. Walking out of the podiatrist was like walking through the gates of heaven, it was such a relief.

I had 9 on one foot and 7 on the other for 10 years, but they weren't painful, just horribly ugly. I tried all the over the counter stuff, had them frozen a few times and used to get them filed down at the chiropodist every few months, but nothing didn't seem to work. Eventually I spent weeks on end soaking cotton wool balls in apple cider vinegar and taping them to my feet overnight. The vinegary smell wasn't pleasant and after about 3 weeks of doing this every night I stopped. Then about 2 weeks after stopping I looked at my foot one day and they had ALL gone. I was absolutely stunned. Every so often I grab my feet and check they're not coming back! The chiropodist told me that they used to say 2 years for them to go away by themselves but that he had patients who had them for 20 years. I'm not sure if it was the vinegar or if my immune system finally got rid of them but they're an absolute sod and it seems some people just struggle more to shift them.
