My skanky foot...

[bantingm]

Really horrible question (Sorry) iv tried everything to get rid of a Verucca on my foot which has been there 15 years (!!) doctors have done all sorts and nothing has helped, has anyone heard of any alternative remedies that could help?

Thanks

I had a verruca on the bottom of the sole of my foot for a few years. Tried doing a lot of things to get rid and nothing worked.

Then one night I decided to take a hot water bottle to bed, I placed my feet on the hot water bottle and it stung where my verruca was, but I kept it there till the pain passed and after about an hour I just simply peeled the Verucca off.

No ****, hasnt been back since.

Give it a try i hope it works for you like it did for me : )

I also have lots of verucca's on my feet. I have tried everything over the last few years but to no avail. Apparently all the over the counter stuff you can buy doesn't do any good as none of it is strong enough. The only way to get rid of them is by going to a chiropodist who treats it with a much stronger compound.

They can slao disappear at any time which is what happened to my wart I woke up and it was gone!!. It is a virus you see and can just go.

You are best going to a private chiropodist which will cost about �10-per week for a period of a few months as the NHS ones don't practise invasive treatments.

An alternative remedy that could help - homeopathic thuja. 6x potency tablets taken twice a day plus mother tincture applied directly. It took a few weeks but was effective where all else had failed for years, like you.
Tea tree oil has been known to work too.
Good luck.

Thank everyone for your suggestions, however i have tried thuja, with no luck.

Doctors have frozen them, cut them down weekly with a knife, i have had a local anesthetic and them burnt out, a week later they came back!! im at the end of my tether!!!!

the hot water bottle one sounds interesting... i may have to try that.

i have also tried covering them with duck tape for two weeks (saw that on Embarrasing bodies) i went to see the doctor, showed them to her and she told me to stop covering them straight away! they had gone really horrible.

very confused with what to do... HELP!!!!
