Just spotted a question about corns and wonder if anyone has any ideas how to get rid of verrucas ? I've had one in the same place under my foot for about 5 years... The podiatrist doesn't want to touch it and I'm scared to try the over the counter remedies.
She just quoted the problems of healing in diabetics and said it was best left alone
Classy as this makes me sound, I've had one for 17 years. I was having it treated as a child at the doctors but it never went away. I went back about 5 years ago for treatment for a while but it's made no difference!

The duct tape really does work, but takes at least a month.
I bought a nice bright red roll of it for my granddaughter. She changed it after showers, kept it dry and always covered. Gone in 4 weeks with no nasty chemicals.
I've heard it may take a bit longer sometimes.
Good luck!
Jane.
It might well be she's right that's its best left alone, but if your uncertain ask your gp to take a look at it and give their opinion.
If the tape doesn't work maybe I will or maybe I'll be a member of the 17 year verrucas club

Before using the duck tape I would get a second opinion from your gp first, as diabetics we do have to be extremely careful with our feet
