I suggest that you go to your GP or even your pharmacist and ask them how to deal with it. They will know what the best thing to use is.

To be fair, doctors are useless when it comes to warts and verrucas. The methods they try are usually ineffective.

Forget the doctors as they will give you nothing that works. I had a wart on my knee for 15 years and tried EVERYTHING the doctors could throw at it. Warts and verrucas need light and oxygen to live. I put black nail polish on my wart for a full week to ensure it was constantly covered and it has gone and never returned. Covering it with nail varnish creates an airtight seal around it and prevents oxygen from getting to it. Before anyone says it will get oxygen from your blood, this is wrong. Warts and verrucas pull oxygen from the surface of the skin. I guarantee you this will work. Harmless, painless and 110% effective.

Very interesting cure! Some time ago I had a verruca that lasted for7 years, nothing the dr. and dermatology clinic used shifted it but one day it just sort of "dropped" off. If I had known about the black nail polish could have been spared a lot of painful freezing etc.!!!
