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!

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
