dd1 has a very small verruca, on which we've been putting wart paint (as prescribed by GP) since Thursday. The GP also suggested that I try starving it of oxygen by putting gaffer tape over it, but the gaffer tape kept coming off so I've been putting zinc oxide tape over it instead.
This evening after her bath I took the tape off, and a circle of skin peeled off with the tape. In the middle of the skin was a white thing, I suppose the verruca? And her foot now has a crater in it with a patch of white skin in the middle but no hard lump and it doesn't hurt her when I press it. I'm thinking maybe the whole verruca has come away and left behind some dead skin underneath it. It's pretty gross.... does this sound right? And do you think I should stop applying the wart paint now? Was this supposed to happen?? I was not expecting it. And there's even a little bit of pink skin in the circle which came off on the tape... blech.
