What the Jeff is this on dc's toe?

[Pandaintheporridge]

Any ideas? Thanks!

It's a verruca!

Looks like a cluster of verruccas

That’s a verruca, not seen one there before but they can occur on toes.

It’s a verruca eldest had one that pushed the nail, silver nitrate at the gp sorted it

Veruca. Ds2 had exactly this just under the toe nail, popping out. It cleared up quickly with pharmacy cream and a nail file.

Unanimous then! He's not my first dc but I've actually never seen a verruca before!
So - pharmacist or GP? He is 7, if that makes a difference.
Thank you all

DD has one and advice from the nurse was to poke it with a pin after a bath. Or whenever she fancied at any other time.

The poking irritates it and it falls off after a week or so (our practice won’t freeze them off anymore)

I'm nervous just thinking about that! It makes it sound like something.. alive on his foot. Though I'd do it quite happily to my own foot

I will take him to the pharmacy tomorrow am and get their advice. Thanks for the diagnosis! I thought originally it was a sore as his nail was pushing against his foot at that point.

Ooh this brings back happy memories.
