verruca gate....yep. they are still there.

[ThatVikRinA22]

its me again moaning about those verrucas

after the painful acid treatment which left me practically disabled...(no exaggeration - i had to come out of uniform and then the funny walking put my back out....) but .they are still there
bad as ever. (all 30 of them)
massive.
and wont budge.

the podiatrist called me the other day to ask how they were....i should have just handed the phone to chief verruca and he could have answered for himself....

now they want to do "needling" - apparently they inject a local into the foot and dig about with a big needle to try and promote the bodys immune response....

it costs over £120.....

verdicts please. my feet have been taken over. (i wont link to the gore again but its bad....)

(in the absence of a leper emoticon.)

I'm not sure yet it its worked! I'm still healing

I was chatting to the nurse as my dd had some a while back, we bazookad and poked and picked then got fed up. She had two courses of antibiotics (for something else) and ping .... Gone. She said that often happens

OMG vicar! No offence but that's awful!

i know! i am a leper. its disgusting. i actually put that pic on my FB and my colleagues thought i was the most disgusting thing ever....one fell out with me.

i am just a little desperate now.

notmostpeople - i wish i knew....maybe if one of us finds the secret we can let the other one in on it! sympathies to a fellow sufferer.

On a good note, I'm glad you name changed back.

I've tried all those on your list but also Marigold therapy and cider vinegar (that was popular with DH , hmm vinegar smelling wife).

i felt too weird being someone else.....i like being me! (verrucas and all!)

Homeopathy? Here

Try rubbing 2ps on them. But then hide the 2ps where no one can get them. Something in the coins I think x

Oh you poor soul.Have you tried the Apple cider cure mentioned on Q,s thread?

I can't name change. I'm Saggy and any name that doesn't include a Catpuss just feels wrong!
I'm sorry I don't have any verucca help! Just glad your back!

This will sound odd but can't you sterilise your own needle and jab it a bit?

I have to add that since all the other stuff has not provoked an immune reaction I doubt needling would either

willing to try anything....truly fed up and often in pain.

OMG

Why are you having to pay? Did you go through GP originally?

What about Veronica Verruca?

Do they hurt if you simply leave them alone.

I gave up on mine and it didn't hurt if I just forgot about it. Eventually they seem to disapear.

DH has some, I don't know if he knows or cares. they certainly don't seem to bother him

gp said there was nothing they could do, so i found a private podiatrist. i had had them frozen - that didnt work. id tried all the lotions and potions, they didnt work either (tried them first!)

private pod = pay.

I have had a couple of veruccas for years but when I was pregnant last year they really grew. A lovely podiatrist said basically you can't guarantee any treatment will work so she just recommends teatree oil applied daily and filing them down weekly.

Tbh I'm too lazy to do this for more than a week before I lose interest so can't confirm if it works. its a lot cheaper than £120 though!

Oh, Vicar, I'm sorry to hear they're still plaguing you :(

I'm afraid I agree that sticking needles in them's probably a waste of time/pain/money. If burning them with nuclear-strength acid hasn't alerted your immune system to their presence, why would poking them with a needle? Most wart cures don't work anyway, it's just that the wart went away while the sufferer was trying something so they thought it worked.

It does sound as if your immune system's a bit feeble. Your job's notorious for undermining health, so please make sure you eat properly, take vitamins and get enough sleep! What can you do to cushion your poor feet as much as possible? Sheepskin or gel insoles, something like that?

I hope the crappy situations are work are getting sorted out.

Verruca Salt, surely?

Have u had them sprayed with liquid nitrogen? I am in Australia & we have all had one sprayed. It takes a few goes but it works.

vicar !!!!

That made me gasp out loud.

Looks incredibly painful.

You could try taking garlic ad it's anti viral. I had 2 on my hands when I was little. Used emerge liquid but they just grew back after peeling off. I took garlic tablets for about 18 mths & 1 day the warts just disappeared.

tried that tabby after all the over the counter things i had them done with liquid nitrogen several times - didnt go.

then tried the heavy duty acid.

shrimp it doesnt look as bad as that now - i think that was the effect of the acid more than the verruca. but its still there, big as ever, and its growing outwards so it is always painful - it throbs.

the other twenty odd dont but that one does.

HOLY MO that looks so painfull. My ds suffers with the blighters on and off first one was on his toe it corked out when we used Salactic Acid. The next one was a stuborn so and so though the Salactic acid would not budge it tried the freeze stuff too. Then I spotted some plasters made by Sholl and they worked on that batch. Ds currently has yet another they always appear in September time this time we are freeze treatment which seems to be working on this one. Last year I had 20 on one foot and 13 on the other it took me three months to get rid of them all.
