A verucca? Is it a verucca? Oh no, not a verucca!

DS has a lump on his foot. It looks like a callus (skin colour) with a teensy wee hole in the top - like its been jabbeld with a pin. A bit like a teeny wee volcano.

Its gross, its ugly, but is it a verucca?

What do you do with them? Are they very contageous?

Sounds like a verruca to me! They are contagious. My dd caught them swimming and had loads at one point but the rest of us never got them and we don't wear socks in the house and share towels etc.

Generally they only last a while. Dds was about 6mo and they burned themselves out.

We never did anything too them.

Sounds like one. My DS has 3 atm and they ae nasty wee things.

Been using the foot stuff to kill it off but I had the most satisfying expeience tonight. Picking the oots out is almost as good as squeezing a spot o boil. Unhappily, DS did not agee.

Soy, the AHH key is not woking on my keyboad. Soy.

my ds had three the size of a 10 pence piece, I filed them with a foot file slightly and the put pure tea tree oil on them twice a day for a week, when I checked then two weeks later they had gone.
