I am going on hols on Thurs and have both feet with quite a few clusters. What is best thing to cover them with, without looking obvious?

Obviously need something that will be ok for pool and shower etc...Don't want to pass them on

Why don't you go to the Dcos adn get them frozen? DD had one and it went with the second "zap", all in all one week and it was painless.

I am chicken. Have tried every treatment apart from freezing. May think about it when I get as they are all deep and covered with hard skin.

Sorry it will be verucca socks for you I think,

As for treatment check the archives for banana treatment, but do a week or so of salicyclic acid treatment first as the bananas work better.

Bazuka is good for treating verrucas, and forms a water resistant barrier.

My DD is 8 and a drama queen - she told me it didn't hurt at aLL having them frozen

podiatrist recommended garlic oil and it got rid of dds cluster of 4 that she had had for over 6 months. it is a nightmare squeezing the oil from the garlic cloves but after a week all gone. completely natural way of doing it. garlic and cover with plaster irritates the mole and stimulates the immune system to fight the mole.
