Verrucas

[loggy01]

My daughter has five verrucas which have been Bazooka'd, frozen with a home freezing kit, frozen at the doctors and still refuse to go!! Any natural or other remedies which will kill them off once and for all.

if its on the soul of the foot, try fat off the bacon - seriously -wee bit of white fat under a plaster for about a week softens it all and the verruca MAY come out

my mum did this for me once when i was a kid

We had bacon sandwiches for lunch ironically! Actually I suppose anything such as fat which suffocates the damn thing may work. I think she would find it very funny having bacon on her feet!!

The Extra strength Bazooka is the best I've used. It finally got rid of my verruca when everything else failed. I think it's not suitable for young children though. You'd need to check the instructions.

I will try and get the extra strength Bazooka tomorrow in Boots. Thanks for that. I may even try duct tape to try and suffocate it. Maybe both together will do the trick!! I suppose until her system learns to deal with the virus they will keep returning, especially as kids today seem to be able to swim at school with verrucas. Wonder if the old wart trick of getting someone to buy it off of you would work? Worked with my husband - but I am sure there is nothing in this, purely psycological.

My daughters have had verrucas in the past too. I found the only remedy was to go to a chiropodist and a course of treatment. It really is a painless but time consuming process, but my kids haven't been troubled since.

I have one at the moment - and am trying duct tape. I don't find duct tape stays on well, so i've got a tiny piece on it, and then a plaster on top to hold the tape there. It's definitely having an effect - but can't be sure yet whether it'll make it disappear!

When my son had some on the soles of both feet nothing would shift them until the mum of one of his school friends recommended something called Posilfilin (I think thats how it was spelt). You can buy it from a chemist - my local chemist had to order it in. It's a disgusting looking brown ointment in a tube and you only put a tiny amout on. It worked very quickly and he's had no trouble since. Might just have been lucky but it was only a couple of pounds so it might be worth a try. Good luck.

I've no advice but just wanted to tell you that I got verucca when I was 15 and absolutely nothing would shift it. Not Bazooka, not Wartner nothing. So I gave in and left it. I'm now 33 and about a month ago I realised it had gone. All by itself. 18 years, reckon that's got to be a record!

My daughter had a persistent wart on the sole of her foot. None of the usual treatments worked and it just kept getting bigger. Then a friend said their daughter had the same problem and eventually cured it with ultrasound.

It certainly worked very effectively and rapidly on my daughter. It began shrivelling up from the first treatment. After four treatments it fell out leaving a big hole. The hole healed and the wart has never returned.

Unfortunately it is very difficult to find an ultrasound technician who will try it unless they have seen it work.

Tea Tree oil is supposed to work - morning & night under a plaster.

I had really bad verrucas on my feet when I was in my teens. My Mum used to put the brown ointment stuff on every two days under a plaster but they never shifted. Anyway we went on holiday and my Dad told me to rub seaweed on the soles of my feet and go in the sea regularly. Within a couple of weeks of returning my Mum scraped the dead skin off as usual and within 20 minutes my feet were bleeding for a few minutes, sounds weird but they went after that.
