Verucca?-help!!!

[Rubys mummy]

Not sure if this is right place to post, but I think I have a verucca

Its so painful, it hurts to walk.

The last time I had one I think was when I went to school, caught at the swimming baths!! I havent been the baths in months tho??

Going to try and get so ointment for it, if I can hobble to the chemists for it I am so embarrassed, how on earth could I have got it?? Saying that I do walk round constantly in bare feet, we recently went on holiday to a cottage in Scotland, could I of caught it there??

Hi,Our little boy has had verrucas.We took him to a friend of ours who is a chiropodist and she said the best thing to do is to make the verucca bleed because it kick starts the bodies own systems to get rid of them. The creams and things often don't work according to her. She said to use a foot file or pumice stone and file down until it starts bleed.
Hope this helps

i got one years ago (must have been 10ish) and i ended up getting a splinter in the middle of it. It swelled to the size of a large bean sticking out the bottom of my heal. I couldn't walk for the pain, and my GP sent me to A&E to have it cut out.

I think you can get waterproof seal thingies for them now days to prevent it spreading.

you need that stuff frm that advert "bazoka that verruca". how i hate that advert

A good tip for you is to make sure that you remove as much of the veruca as possible before putting on the gel ( BAzuka is excellent) as a nurse I have used a scalpel to shave off the excess but I recomend you use a pumice stone to try and wear it down. Once you have a flat surface to work on apply the gel. This is because there is usually a lot of dead skin around the veruca and the gel has to work its way through that to get to the root... if you can get rid of as much skin as possible first then the gel will work faster.

Good Luck!
