Have used it on more than one occasion

We have also found Bazooka to be ineffective, even the super strength one.

Can recommend the over the counter 'freezing method' treatments though. They cost about £15, but have only required a single treatment on the handful of occasions we have needed them. I think the price is outrageous, but so worth it for the convenience of being gone after a single application.

Hi, duct tape worked on my daughters huge painful verruca - but we had to tape the duct tape on with micropore tape to get it to stay stuck - it worked within about 10days though.

It took about 4 months using bazooka for my dd's verrucas to go, that was putting it on every night and filing it regularly.
When I was younger, a holiday sorted mine out, walking in the sand lifted it away!

I went to a Podiatrist. It was not overly expensive and was solved in a couple of visits.

I am diabetic so would not self treat and wanted a gauranteed solution. They have not returned.

Tried about every home treatment and remedy on mine, finally they went after I gave up trying - took about 7 years from their first appearance!

I did go to the doctor and they explained that they don't like to treat them any more as the freezing/cutting them out can leave scar tissue which can cause more pain than the verucca itself. So he said, anyway!

I used Lemon oil on my son's a few years ago when he had one, it seemed to work as the verruca went.

My DD had a cluster under her toe that was as big as adults thumbnail _pale_ we used the lemon oil and duct tape and it went after a week/10 days. Surprisingly painless for her as well

Thanks every one,wow 2 pages of comments already!
I'm interested in the duct tape one I have heard this works quite well as it cuts off the air and oxygen to the verrucca so it just dies.

Also the lemon juice one!

Now you mention it I have seen behind the counter a home freezing treatment.

I think I will ask at the docs-we are going today anyway about something else-about a wart clinic and see if the chemist can recommend anything.
Il let u know what happens!
