Is this a verucca?

This bad boy has been growing for a year or so, getting really painful lately. I wasn't sure if it was a verucca or a corn or watt or something else because of the position (almost on the side of my foot) and how painful it was.

But after I managed to pick a chunk of the surrounding dead skin off it looks a bit cauliflowery, and that's what veruccas look like isn't it?

Any tips for the fucker to finally die? Sometimes if it gets knocked or I stand on something uneven it feels like a poker being stabbed into my foot.

Looks like it you can ask at chemist. I had one for eight years between my toes only got rid of it couple of months ago. Used occlusal (sp?) and filed it down daily.

Yes that looks like a verucca to me.
Why have you had it a year but not treated it? They are contagious.
I've used Bazucca treatment gel on the ones my children got. It worked well but takes a bit of time.

I've been using bazooka extra strength and filing it as much as I can stand the pain to do so, it's not like I'm rubbing my foot on people. I live abroad so it's not as easy as popping to Boots
