Veruccas - how did you get rid of them?

[VoluptuaGoodshag]

My two kids have had one each since way befor easter. I've tried Bazuka, some homeopathic thing called Thuja and now Scholl sticky things and they are still there but bigger and more unsightly.

I religiously change their dressing each night and file away the dead bit. When I think I've gotten down to the last bit, when there are tiny little dark spots, I file these and then it starts bleeding.

Help!

Shall go for the duct tape option. At least it should stick on longer than sticking plasters (waterproof my arse!)

vicar
did it work?

dunno....i am the queen of procrastination...

but this has embarrassed me enough to have a go! i need to get rid...before i have to make provision for them in my will and get them their own trust funds set up....they are really that big...

plus if i dont get rid of them soon im afraid i will reinfect my kids.

buying duct tape is on my list for my next day off....i will report back

well we have started tonight so chop chop

"They go away by themselves after a year or so (only a few days/weeks of pain though)."

That advice is absolute bollocks. The pharmacist told me that about mine and so I left it. Fast forward 2 years and I have 3 on that foot, one on my other foot and two on my hand. They spread everywhere. Now I can't get rid of them at all.

I have a verucca that, after treating with wartner, bazooka, religiously filing every week or so, is still there 5 years later - I know because it was there on our first holiday abroad in July 2005.

And yet, DD had a huge cluster of them on her feet which the doctor would not treat, just told me to keep filing and treating with bazooka and they all disappeared within a couple of months! Every single last one! (And she had about 30 tiny ones)
