Verruca- ridden child--- can you recommend a chiropodist?

Don't want to hijack thread but my son has a similar problem, probably due to people not wearing protectors over their shoes.... Anyway that's another story... How quickly do they work...thought I was looking at months of bazooka stuff...
In my experience the freezing stick things you can buy over the counter are useless. You need to use the extra strength bazooka and keep at it relentlessly for months - don't give up after a few weeks, keep on going and eventually they will go.

We used carpet tape - that black very sticky tape - left it on for a few days and then when manky replaced it with a new piece. It did take 3-4 weeks but eventually the whole thing just came off and has not returned. Pain free - would definitely recommend this. I have even heard that some clinical research has been done on this now so it is pucker - something to do with the chemical in the tape - but you must persist!


Good luck!

Hi,


After reading this post I booked my 5 year old for an assessment, thinking they would freeze it off!


But no, lets be clear dulwich podiatry will not use chemicals or freezing in such a young child.


So I have just paid 64 quid for a consultation and a herbal remedy and advice about keeping on keeping a plaster. It seems that there are no short cuts! time, plasters, duct tape or banana skins


I did try to clarify my expectations with the receptionist before booking, but somehow I booked thinking that my daughter would have the verrucca killed.


Anyway, lesson learned!

we took my teenage daughter to Mr Jefferson on Rye lane last week from an ed forum recommendation. Her verucca was very painful- mainly from her chemist attempts to burn it off. He scraped and chiselled everything down so she was comfortable. It is up to her now whether she wants to go back to get it removed as it could resolve itself eventually. He was very gentle and reassuring and saw us at short notice.

Bananas for veruccas - well, this is why I just love the forum! I get a remedy for my 4 year old's horrid verruca that won't go and she screams when I touch it (even gently). AND a use for all those bananas they get through!!!


Hoping this works as nothing else has - have been trying for months and last night tried the freezing stick but she wouldn't let me leave it on for 10 seconds let alone the 30 you need to. Will report back!

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
