A trip to the pharmacy for the Feet and a dictionary for the spelling ;)

Only kidding

Used to use a silver nitrate pencil to burn the little swines out but if its really big have used salicylic acid (bazuka etc).
Mind you it takes ages (6 months plus ) for a really big set.

On the flip side - if you leave them for years, the body will eventually recognise them as a foreign body and kill them off itself!
My doc told me that when I wanted them removed - the patch was too big

Salicylic acid made them flipping sore and bleed, but couldn't shift them fully. A year later they'd vanished without me noticing.

Mine have come back again

Does Varruca Know you have got them?

OMG

I thought this area was for web-site problems. However this really made me laugh

Just go to the chemist and get something for them - sooner rather than later

Maybe we should have a new topic for those needing medication! The more usual ones would be smashed thumbnails or shrapnel wounds from welding! Not really too sure about veruca!!!!

Thread moved to 'off topic', because it is.

People may think I'm nuts but when I had a Verruca I got rid of it in a few months by strapping a piece of banana skin over it every night when I went to bed (it was pretty disgusting by the morning).

I don't know where I heard about this cure or what is in the banana skin that reacts to the verruca but it works

Just in case anyone was taking this subject seriously, bin through it with my daughter...
Bazuka was no good, not strong enough.
That Wartner freezer stuff is totally useless- a waste of £12!!
Then the Pharmacist reached under the counter and produced...Bazuka+!!
Not on the shelf, and she said she wasn't allowed to sell it for use on children, but they know my daughter is a sensible type so agreed as long as I didn't sue if her foot fell off!

Anyhow, one application on each of her 7 (yes, don't they spread!) and she was like new again. Gets my vote!

Well I suppose that would also have cured the problem
