PLEASE HELP MY FOOT

[MsChatterbox]

I'm trying to get rid of a 10 year old verucca. I can't tell if it's going well or not. Wtf is going on! It hurts! I have a hole in my foot!!

That looks sore

You can get blister plasters or the freeze stuff - bit when I did DD’s the more surface that came away it was more apparent that it was a cluster rather than one.

Keep going at it. If it’s big and dee it will leave a hole - it will get better though

The white bits are dead skin - try removing it so it has less place to go

10 years?

Have you seen a doctor as it could be indicative of something wrong with your immune system?

Alternatively, a friend had one which lasted for years, he finally got rid of it when he resorted to acupuncture - it suddenly cleared up.

I've asked a couple of doctors and all they've said is because they usually go away by themselves the NHS won't do anything about it... Maybe I will try again though..

Nothing wrong with at least a white cell blood count

Apply tea-tree twice a day and after a fortnight it should turn black and fall off

Ime veruccas usually leave a bit of a hole, but that is ginourmous

Also if you have no luck with doctors, then try a podiatrist

Get a chiropodist to deal with it .

This is delightful. More helpful sporners will be along soon, but in the meantime, I am here for the photos.

Should I be trying to dig it out? Or just keep treating it and let it fall out?

😂

If you pull it out it will hurt and bleed like fuck, then heal like it was never there.

Oh god. I tentatively tried to pull it out and it hurt so much so I gave up. I'm not sure I have the guts. It did start to bleed so I chicken out...

Ahhhh no helpful advice but reminiscent of the time I lost patience with a years-old verruca after softly-softly treatmefrom various chiros, and ripped the fucker out with my teeth (ball of foot and I was more flexible then). It was about your stage, left a huge crater and bled like a bastard - I went out with a sanitary pad in my shoe. Happy days...

Blood is good. It will kick in your immune system to kill it off.

I knew I came to the right place. I tried 111 and they actually asked me what a verucca is...

Oooooooooh!

Oh Jeez... How painful was it to do that? I think I need to mentally prepare for a few days 😬

There's actually another one to the right if you guys can see it. So still have that to deal with!

I had an enormous 8yr bastard verruca.

I did banana, duct tape, pickles ointment, black nail polish, all the otc stuff, witchcraft etc.

In the end it was 2 months of the scholl pen and now it's gone!

Go to a private chiropodist. Verruca removal isn't expensive in my experience. Hope you get it sorted!

Wow that is a big one! My DS literally chewed one off his own foot when he was 2 🤢

I use Bazooka and file off every other day and pull out with tweezers. Blood is good as pp said!
