DD has a small & painful verruca; I only recently worked out it was a verruca Blush

So what do I do?

I have had Duct tape recommended

Get some Scholl Freeze Verruca & wart treatment. You only need to use it once usually, or sometimes twice if it's a big stubborn one.

It worked for my DCs anyway (but I don't think it's suitable for under 4's)

Thanks (DD is 14)

My GP told me this morning that she used Duct tape on a wart on her son's arm and it worked so she told me to use it on my DD's warts if I want to. If it is meant to work on a verruca I'd go ahead and use it. Much less trouble than painting and filing it and less painful than freezing.

If it wasn't painful I'd leave it as they go away by themselves in the end.

BTW the freezing treatment you can buy to do yourself doesnt hurt at all (and I'm a wuss).

I once had one frozen at the docs and that did hurt.

The chemist sold me Bazooka (or something)
