I have had a verruca on the soul of my foot for years and it is still there! I went to the hospital and they gave me a cream and it didnt work! I now have another one on my other foot and its growing! i'm really embarressed about them! any ideas on what is could to get rid of them QUICK??
Answer:bazooka that verruca
cut it out with a knife
They used liquid nitrogen on mine, and it just dropped off about a week later
try buzuca iy`s a one spot treatment. uk
i had it on my feet when i was little, didnt go to the doc because no one took me (see how mean the parents are?!) anyways so my dad got got me a cream and he plastered it with bandage, it got better after couple of weeks. if you haven't try the verruca cream. hope it gets better. x
I had mine frozen off at the doctors when I was a kid and it killed it, after several sessions of liquid something or other (can't think what it was called) it killed the verruca but it only disappeared about 4 years ago, so took a good 6 years to actually go away, even though it had been dead for years - if that makes sense. Go to see your doctor. It bloody hurts though!
I had one as a kid that I hid from my parents until it had gone horrible - mum finally saw it when she was tickling my feet and took me to the chiropodist who burnt it off with liquid nitrogen - OOOOWWWWW!! Bazooka can be good if it's caught fairly early but it's not a very strong compound. I had one a little while ago, and used Occlusal (which I got from the Chiropodist, and as long as you perservere that works really well. Finally, I saw something like a home version of the burn stuff, but I can't remember it's name - sorry! It's in an aerosol packaging in shops like Boots or Superdrug. Good luck!!
I had the same problem with a Verruca on the sole of my foot, no treatments worked nor Cyro treatment performed by my nurse, in the end I booked up for the doctor to remove it for me, it took 15 minutes approx, the area is numbed with General Anaesthetic, then its cut away (sounds worse than it is) and then the doctor burns away any remaining Verruca tissue, mine is still healing as I had the procedure done just over a month ago, the doctor had to remove mine as mine was SO stubborn, I'd had it for awhile and as they are highly contagious, I didn't want it causing other Verruca's on the rest of my foot, the only down side, is that for you, along with myself, won't be able to stand on your foot properly for awhile, however its well worth it once you see the Verruca finally gone, don't be embarrassed to ask your doctor to arrange for it to be cut out, I wasn't, I'd rather get rid of it than have that unsightly thing on my foot, the doctor will be happy to help you, hope that's helped, good luck!
