Ok gross and a bit weird but veruca treatments and breastfeeding.

[Crawling]

I had one veruca at the start of pregnancy no one would give me anything because I was pg baby is now 2months and bf and I now have between 50 and 60 all clustered in one area. It is gross and I am sick of them my doctor has given me salatac acid but it is not working he said that is all I can have does anyone know of anything else I can use? people keep saying they will fall off but they are not they are just spreading.

Select creams and ointments factsheet.

Mostly, topical creams are ok when bf because they are not systemic - ie very very little gets into the bloodstream and thence to the milk.

But obv check it out first - the pharmacist might help, too.

Thank you

I would also ask for a second GP opionion as 50-60 verruca is a very high amount, and there may be an underlying problem.

Doris thanks I have just been told I may have a autoimmune problem. I am being referred for pernicous anemia as I have a B12 defficency so that is probably why I have so many. I am hoping that once my treatment is in my system they may drop off then. But I want something to control them because they hurt quite a bit.

Crawling, hope you are okay, I used cider vingear for my warts, much more effective than the creams you can get (google it for exact instructions), as it's a food I'm sure it's safe.

Thanks paranoid I will give it a try it is amazing how much stress this is causing me.
