Need advice.
Dc has a massive verruca but will not let anyone near it. Tried freezing- freaked out. Tried bazuka and won't allow the gel to be peeled off.
I'm talking proper full-blown anxiety attack with screaming, kicking, hitting.
It's insane and the verruca is getting bigger as a result of this refusal.

Any ideas? Doctors won't help as DC won't allow a doctor near enough to look at it.

Put a plaster on it, nothing on it just a plaster (change regularly), leave on in the bath. The verruca will eventually go a bit gooey and almost slide off. Did this with my sons wart on his finger, he’d had it for months, did this and it totally went.

My ds both went through really verruca phases no idea why, they were both about 3! Their big sis my step daughter was full of them at the time though. Pharmacy said they were too young for the proper stuff so I put neat tea tree oil on them every night and they literally disappeared within a week or so, and one of them had 4 awful looking ones on one foot, but they just went, assuming they fell off. Worth a shot, no filing required.

From your thread title I thought you couldn't get into a proper position to squeeze a spot! (Typo obviously).

Would she let you tape a bit of banana peel to her foot? Did that to my son's persistent verucca after trying all sorts of other stuff (including bazooka) and it just sort of peeled itself off after a couple of days.

Dick tape

Duct tape. Replace daily. Will take a few weeks and you have to keep doing it when the first few layers have (painlessly) peeled off, until it’s completely gone.

This thread has cheered me up a LOT after the shit I've gone through with his behaviour this weekend.

Dick tape made me laugh out loud laid in bed. Takes a lot to get a proper laugh out of me too! 😂😂

A corn plaster. It has Salicylic acid in it. But doesn't hurt.
Or duct tape.

DICK TAPE OMG

Soak in vinegar and then wrap in duct tape. Ds2 had a massive and persistant one covering his whole toe. Bazooka, salicylic acid did nothing. We saw a difference after the first soak and it shrivelled, turned black and dropped off very quickly. The instructions said cider vinegar but we tried white wine and it worked.
