Don't they do it at the docs anymore? I remember going to the "verucca clinic" when I was little to have them frozen off with liquid nitrogen. Dead quick & no faffing about with gel etc
I heard the banana skin thing too - has anyone tried it?0 -
no they dont do it any more at the docs but i did take my daughter to the docs as they seem to be spreading .. they gave me the stuff i needed on prescription so it was free.. within a week she was clear of them all.. ps cant remember the name of it though lolThose we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear

My doc still does it!! Getting rid of verruca's that is
He's trigger happy with his liquid nitrogen : Warts, verrucca's moles - any little blemish you dont want he'll zap off ;DSometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...0 -
we used wartner recently on my 8 year old. he got a verucca on holiday in the swimming pool. it worked great, it felt uncomfortable when we applied it (it's a can of liquid nitrogen i believe) but it didn't hurt afterwards and there was no hole when the verucca dropped off. it was a tiny verucca though, we'd caught it really early the pharmacist said. the wartner cost around £13 though (and no you can't use your advantage points to buy it in boots lol! she said it cxounts towards a total spend though, although i'm not sure if she was right about that). it has enough for ten applications, so ten veruccas.
we tried bazooka a couple of years ago when he had a verucca but it didn't seem to work for ages and ages.52% tight0 -

You can be our guinea-pig 160. Start off with the cheapest eg the banana skin and work your up to the wartner. You can give us an update each time ;D 0
