I have tried: banana skin, ACV, duct tape, gouging it out with a penknife, scraping it with a razor, freezing it, about 3 tonnes of bazuka gel, salt water, wearing a plaster non stop to try to suffocate it and kill it, ignoring it. Nothing has worked and I've had it for over 4 years now and it is painful!! Someone give me hope. I've also got a wart on my finger, and I've got a theory that until the 'mother' wart/verucca on my foot goes, I can't get rid of this one either. Send me some encouragement.
