Help me with my massive and ancient verucca once and for all! *pics*

[mollyblack]

Meet my verruca, it has been residing on a large part of my foot for around 8 years now and I've had enough. I have tried:

Freezing off
Chemist stuff; bazooka etc
Gouging
Duct tape
Nail polish
Cider vinegar
Banana peel
Poking and slicing with knives
Supplements

Nothing has worked, actually i think gouging has been the most successful as it has reduced in size a bit but the middle bit us too deep to gouge without proper medical knowledge.

Any words of wisdom?

Podiatrist here! Google "needling" or "Falkners needling". Not dry needling ... that's something different.

There's a brand new machine called "swift" that was released late last year. At £8k it's on my Christmas list :) though the research on its efficacy is still coming.

Feel free to PM me.

Ah. I've just read that you're on immune system meds. Sadly, that does complicate things a bit /(

Can'tthink, dh has had a verruca very similar to your son's for over 10 years now, right on the edge of his big toenail. Looks like a head of cauliflower with black dots in. Stomach-churning! He also has a dozen or so warts on his hand. He has tried absolutely everything (banana skin, duct tape, nail varnish, acid, wartner, cider vinegar, tablets etc..) and was referred to the top consultant in the country for warts/verrucas who prescribed a cream that apparently cost £500 but didn't work either, so he told dh there was nothing further he could do and gave up on him.

He's resigned to having them forever, but then went to a Chinese acupuncturist for something else (back pain). He gave him some weird homeopathic herbal sachets that he had to boil up (during a full moon, recite the Lord's Prayer backwards while standing on one leg ) and then soak his fingers in each evening for 30 minutes, wrapping them in cloth and topping off with a latex glove! Right palava. Has got rid of a couple of the warts on his hand, but he suddenly noticed last week that the cauliflower verruca on his toe, which has been nowhere near the weird potion stuff, has virtually disappeared! Bizarre.

DD had a really thick verucca and needed the chiropodist to cut the dead skin away to enable the medicine to penetrate it properly.

Hi I have bought the thuja 30cc tablets to treat my daughters verucca and I'm just wondering do you know if it just one tablet a day for a couple of weeks

DS's verruca is still there & he now has warts on his fingers & thumbs. He is seeing his paediatrician next week, so we will ask her advice then.

Hello there,

It’s an old thread probably ghost one now but if there is someone out there who was like me combing through all threads to get help about Verrucca then this might be of help. I had a verrucca for 6 years n finally got rid of it last week. Three months of Bazooka ( not extra strength), it helped the Verrucca size to be reduced by 90%, the last bit was then blasted by wartie advanced extra strong (applied once). All gone, it took some persistence, defo life gets in the way but keep at it.

Suffocate it with a dab of bleach

As mentioned by another poster, we found Verrugon cream to be very effective (much better than Bazooka).

I used an Avoca silver nitrate stick on a verruca I’d had 20+ years, it turned the verruca and surrounding skin black, and the verruca fell off.
