Verrucas or something else?

So DS14 has a huge amount of possibly verrucas, but are they verrucas? They dont seem to have any middle bits just the outside ring type bit. As such my usual verrucas treating trick of nail varnish and digging isn't working as there isn't really anything to dig with the tweezers? So what do we think they are and how am I going to get rid of them?

Oh bloody hell! That's a lot! Yes they definitely look like verrucas.

I've just gotten rid of a big one after 8 years of trying pretty much every treatment under the sun including freezing, and in the end it was an otc Scholl verruca pen that did it.

But honestly with that many I would ask your GP what to do. I doubt the NHS have the capacity to do much, but the GP may be able to direct you to the correct type of specialist.

I think that's called mosaic verrucas by the way.

Verrucas! Get him treated

There was a case once on embarrassing bodies or illnesses. Something like that.

But definitely see the GP.

Hopefully not the same thing as what we featured on the programme as it was a rare illness. But definitely something to push for examination

I’d go to see a chiropodist/podiatrist rather than GP. But definitely get them seen by a professional.

Please google embarrassing bodies verrucas episode

Just rewatched it. They look different to these but it is about immune and response to infections.
