Oh poor you HM!!! that was a very mean thing, I can almost feel it, but at least it got rid of them!!

If Duck tape does not work for me, could you 'hire out' your sisters to me for the evening, although I think I would need a southern comfort to ease my nerves before they got the tweezers out!:eek:

I don't think even a southern comfort would help! go with the duck tape sounds far less painful.:rotfl:

I used to have one and used to pick at it and pull it with Tweezers.. I then used that Bazooka stuff and used to pick at it and eventually it just went

I'm a minging Cow aren't I?

I had a huge one on my big toe which was very painful. I got the bazooka extra strength stuff, and reapplied every three days. It went within two weeks. I'd been trying to get rid by doing it daily as suggested and it just didn't work. Strange.

Hi there, i have a nearly 10 year old ds, who has some verrucas on his feet, is this something i should treat at home? or do i take him to the doctors, i've been putting some stuff on for the last month but it does'nt seem to be doing much. its called scholl seal & heal verruca removal. Any advice please........

Unfortunatley these dont dissappear over night, my kids had them when they used to go to local swimming baths but now they are at high school so far they havent come home with any. In connection to using the Schol stuf have you used a nail file to buff down the hard skin around the verucca?

If it prolongs much longer i would consider going to the Gp but all mine does is prescribe Salactol which is near on useless.

Thank you for your reply, yes i'm buffing of the hard skin with a pummice stone, but i've been doing this for a month, and it does'nt seem to be getting rid of them...

I used Wartner on my DD's and DH's verrucaes, they're just warts but on the sole of the foot...theirs were on the harder skin of their toes, so perhaps ask at your GP's surgery if the GP or nurse could get rid of them for you.

The best thing that we have tried is put on a drop of teatree oil and put a plaster on it!! The next night after a bath or shower file the verrucca and a drop of teatree again!! Do this as long as needed!! A verrucca is fungal and teatree will get rid!!:cool:
