What is this on my child’s foot please?

[goodenoughmum88]

I’m unsure if it’s a cluster of veruccas or athletes foot or some kind of warty thing. They say it’s sore. Any clues please and bonus points for treatment if needed!

Looks like a wart/verucca. We tend to tape youngsters feet rather than use acid these days. If you had come to my clinic i would tell you to buy zinc oxide tape to cover and replace when it gets wet. It should go on its own if you keep taping.

Painful verruca.
See a podiatrist. 😊

Looks like a verruca. To be fair it probably is sore. I had one in the same place for ages (looks like in the crease of their big toe?) and it hurt intermittently, worse when I'd been walking around all day.

I bazaka'd until it eventually just shrunk and disappeared.. but it took ages.

I am one, the advice i gave is what we do now for veruccas.

Thanks all for the swift responses! I’ll hotfoot it to a pharmacy in the morning to get some tape. X

DS had a huge cluster like this. We spent months faffing around with tape but they just kept growing no matter how well covered they were. The huge cluster was actually pushing his toes apart when we finally got in to see the GP. The Dr had to prescribe Occlusal in the end. Cleared the cluster up really quickly.

Must have been a while ago as they dont make Occlusal any more!
