Warty question - when to stop?

3 replies

I've got a verucca / wart thing which I've been treating with Bazooka (sp) stuff from the Chemist.

Really sorry if this is TMI...but this morning I had a bath then peeled off the white goo (as you're meant to do) and a chunk of skin came with it - didn't hurt or anything.

I think I can still see a small circle of wart left, so have put some more on, but how do I know when to stop? I don't want to damage my skin, but want to know if it's all gone.

Bumping for you as I have one on my big toe that I've treated twice without much success

Ugh they are the blight of my life at the moment. That'll teach me to walk around the gym shower room without flip flops on, that's how I got it.

Go to your GP and get it frozen with liquid nitrogen. That's way more effective than bazuka and if it's small the feeze might get it with the first shot. but to be on the safe side, after that use Compound W or Salactol for about 12 weeks every day.

Yes I did say 12 weeks! They are resistant little buggers and they will just grow back if you don't keep on and on treating it.

BTW the pharmacist told me that bazuka is too weak. It doesn't work.
