those little things on ur skin caused by HPV (human papilloma virus)...

Hello. I dont know if the word verruca is accurate (im not nativ-english speaker and my strictly medical vocabulary is very limited...) but I have a problem with this thinks on your skin that are caused by HPV (human papilloma virus). Basicly, I hope you know im talking about - small changes on you skin caused by the virus that resides deaply in your skin.
Once I did have one on my foot (on the bottom side) and I did get rid of it. Then I had one on my hand, without realising what it is and now I have them in 3 places on my hand (2 are very small, but one is old - the one I did not realised what it is - and I dont know how to get rid of it).

I know it is hard to get rid of them.

Do you know any good methods? I have some experience with freezing them (hopefully the one I freezed will not come back - they did not untill now) but theres this laser method that I've heard of and I would like to know if it is any good?

Some advice would be verry appreciated.

With verrucas on feet, I've tried both going to a chiropodist (who will treat all sorts of feet things) but that was expensive, and next time I got one (it's almost gone now), I decided to treat it myself by rubbing it every night with an emery board (like the ones people use on their nails) and applying tea tree oil with a cotton bud, and it's got smaller and smaller and now it's practically not there any more.
On hands, my dad had a few, and he read about rubbing banana skins onto them every day, so he thought he would try it, seeing as he eats one every day with breakfast, and they went!!! :redface:

Whatever you try, good luck. Even though they're not that horrible, it's annoying to know they're there :smile:

The truly best method IMO is to cortorise it - painless and it can be done by your GP.

HPV causes verrucas (or verruca like bits), and is a STI - my guess is it depends on where about on your body they are and how you got them

thanks

Ill definitely buy this bazooka thing... unless my current found on net home made threatment will work - bannana skin :smile:

i cannot buy it where i live so it will take few days to get it anyway, so its worth trying something untill then

i found a pair of tweezers and some pain tolerance got rid of verrucas quickly and easily.

"get to the root of the problem" springs to mind.

yea thats what bazooka does... but the cream does it itself... u need to make sure u put a TINY bit on! just cover the head of the verruca! or u'll end up with a huge hole in ur foot!
