Hey everyone, I just wanted to send a message about what happened with my verrucas and how to get rid of them if anyone has got them.
So I had a couple of them for a year or two and got them treated at the doctors and they eventually went away but then I got about 4 more on my other foot. I went to the doctors a couple of times but it didn't make a difference. They have gone away now after having them for about 4 or 5 years and these are the methods I used:
- For a couple of weeks, I put salicylic acid gel on them every two or three nights which helped a bit but damaged the skin around the verrucas.
- I used a variety of freezing kits like the ones they use at the doctors but they didn't really help as I had already had the verrucas for a while and they didn't respond to having them frozen at the doctors.
- For a while, I tried putting cotton wool soaked in apple cider vinegar on them overnight (stuck down with elastic bandage tape) which worked really well however I stopped doing it after a month or two.
- I tried putting duct tape on them but it didn't make any difference.
- I tried filing them down with a pumice stone or foot file after putting salicylic acid gel or vinegar on them overnight and it looked like it helped but I think it was just getting rid of dead skin
