my ds is 4.9 yrs and has had 2 verucca's in the same place on each of his big toes(the crease) for nearly a year now,i have some stuff from the chemist but it says on there not to be used for children under 12 , so is it safe to use or not?

Hi,

It probably says no under 12's for a reason - don't know what tho. If its bothering him could you take him to the docs? My sister had bad ones when she was little and I think the doctor gave her some stuff to sort them.

just stick a banana skin onto it for a few weeks (replace when comes off), at least banana can't hurt :D

My children and husband have had a stubborn one each. The chinese herbalist gave us a tiny bottle of magic potion which cost a fortune but worked on dh. Scholl verruca stuff which left a clear film worked on the kids, but it took ages.

Tried the stuff that freezes them but it was agony, so couldn't inflict it on them again.

Get the nurse to freeze them.
Maybe one or 2 treatments and they are gone.
