If you tried a banana skin on your verruca, did it work?

As title. If you tried banana skin, did it actually work?

I've given up on Bazuka gel doing anything, so I've started with the banana today. (Buying tea tree oil tomorrow!) How hopeful should I be about the Banana Skin Method?

Neat tea tree oil and a plaster worked for ds's where salicylic acid failed.

Other verruca is gone! I ripped at the white stuff so hard it bled, as I did with the first one, and now the skin has healed, it all seems like normal skin. This may be the key- TCA gel and injure yourself slightly?

stressedoutfred Well, I'm glad he got rid of the verruca, but not so good (to put it mildly) that he had to have the chemo. How is he now?

I'm following as dd has one on her toe but she is autistic and has severe sensory issues and it's an absolute nightmare trying to put anything on it! I was left with a black eye after trying basuka Sad
She likes bananas so I am actually praying this would work as the verruca is hurting her!

stressedoutfred Flowers Good.

Faintline Good luck. Didn't work for me at all, sadly.
