Hi, my 5 year old daughter has a huge veruka on the ball of her foot and annother smaller one on the other heel.
The one on the ball of her foot must feel like walking on a marble. She says it dosn't hurt, and I know they say just to leave it if it dosn't hurt as treatment can be painful.
I was wondering if there was any treatment that isn't painful? Maybe a herbal remedy?
I know she isn't just pretending it isn't painful so that I won't touch it, as she has a foot massage before bed time and never says it hurts then.

try Avoca wart remover. DS2 had a massive clump on the ball of his foot. It was the only thing that worked.

My 5 year old dd had 17 veruccas in total across both feet. Some were so close together they joined to make an even bigger lump. We tried all sorts of things eventually going to the homeopath and getting Thuja to dab on. It took a few weeks of dabbing it on every night but they got smaller and smaller and eventually all dropped out. Thuja doesn't burn the skin or hurt - brilliant stuff!

Duct tape here too - worked when the freezing stuff hadn't (& our Dr gives out a sheet recommending it for verukas and warts).
