Could someone advise what to do next?

Do I leave it on, take it off, pick, scrape, dig?

Has anyone had any success? tia

you leave it on. when it falls of you re apply. keep doing this until verruca falls out/disappears
as told to me by my gp

No way!
You mean I don't need to shell out on that crap stuff that doesn't work anymore?
I'm going for a rummage in the garage.

copied this ages agoPut the inside, fleshy part of hte skin against teh verucca. Just cut a piece to cover the verucca, cover with a plaster.

small piece of skin, fleshy side down. Hold in place with a plaster/micropore tape. Change every 24hrs, file about once a week. DDs droppped off after about 3 weeks with banana after bazooka (vile stuff) had her in agony every day for 2-3 weeks.
I have heard that blackened banana is best. I also don't like spotty bananas so it was never that black - but I always tried to pick hte ripest part of the skin. I also stored it in the fridge for 3-4 days before using a fresh one so I didn't have to eat bananas every day.

If you keep it covered that should stop you spreading it to the family.
