I want bazuka extra strong gel

Hello our family of swimmers have verrucas!! Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy this? It's called bakuka extra strong gel and was recommended by a chiropodist.

thanks

To be honest I wouldn't bother with anything like Bazuka (Or anything else like it), You have to keep using it for about 3 months. also if you get the slightest bit on the surrounding skin, it causes the skin to peel and you end up with sores as well as verrucas.

When my daughter had them i was advised to do all kinds of things like rubbing the verruca with the inside of Banana skin and then leaving the Banana skin on the verruca covered with a plaster over night, you have to do this for a few nights and works really well on verrucas that are just forming.

The best thing i found for well formed verrucas was THIS Use it twice a week but you have to be very careful when using it, You only need to take the top layer of the varruca off, (NOT hack the whole thing out lol). I then applied Pure Tea Tree oil. It took about 3 weeks for all the verrucas to clear up.

Every time she goes swimming now, I apply Tea Tree to her feet before and after swimming and she has not had any more verrucas for 6 months

My chiropodist very strongly advised me against using Bazuka or anything like it, as it is very bad for the skin around the verruca.

Instead she advised putting a drop of Geranium oil on each night before bed to draw it out. She also advised the banana skin method.

I have to use this on my 11 year old daughter as she gets warts. I dont know where they come from. No one else I know has them and she keeps her hands clean all the time. About 6 months ago she had to go and have them all cut off. Yuk!! Does anyone know of another way to keep warts at bay?

I would try the banana skin method for a few days - it might help.

OH had a cluster of the damn things, and the doctor gives some potion to apply. Then as they still wouldnt go, he went and had them froze off. It was a teennee bit painful but they went instantly. Personally, I would see the doc first. Its usually better getting a prescription

Warts are caused by a Virus (human papillomavirus) so it's impossible to keep them at bay once you have had them, The virus remains in the body for between 2-3 years, You can however reduced the chances of the virus flaring up by Washing your hands and cleaning Cuts and scratches thoroughly as these are more susceptible to warts, thats about all you can do really.

A friend had a big wart on her finger frozen off, She said the Dr had to do the freezing process twice one straight after the other, and it hurt like crazy, BUT she said it was worth a few moments of pain to get rid of the "Alien" <----her words not mine haha
