Verrucas

I think I have heard about it before Brett and I'm sure it works well, I just wondering if the podiatrist had other concerns regarding Dolly's feet as she was reluctant to treat the verruca.....hence why I said to get a second opinion.

I would see another podiatrist as my brother had one and the podiatrist he saw had great knowledge on diabetes and foot care and he definitely didn't say the verruca was best left alone!! He put this ointment on it that apparently stung a bit and put duct tape on it and did a treatment similar to freezing but suitable for diabetics-I would definitely see another podiatrist if I was you! The verruca returned since his treatment

I would advise getting some ointment from the Doctors such as bazuka that can be bought over the counter. Apply as directed this solution burns the varucca when dead skin forms remove with pumice stone and apply more solution. Best check with doctor first I have no circulation problems in my feet or anything else so this is the method I have used on myself years ago and repeated on my kids.

The hardest part is finishing the verucca off a chiropodist demonstrated this to me years ago and sliced the roots off with a scalpol on 5 I had. On my kids I used a sterile swiss armly blade and the attached tweezers along with bazuka solution to clear their feet within a few weeks.

Remember to follow the doctors instructions and also they do go on their own eventually with no treatment.
