Go to the doctors and get them frozen, it's the best way to get rid of them. You wont be able to walk properly for a week but it's worth it.
yeah ive tried that a few times but they only shrunk and didnt disappear. i mean how many times does one need to be frozen?? and does a banana skin really work?

Yeah, it worked for me when I was younger, and it's worked for a few people I know too.

Just tape a piece of banana skin (the inside part goes on your foot) to your foot, then leave it over night. Or just rub the soft inside part on your verrucas a few times a day.
i'll give it a try, and if it works, you are a god!

Of course it'll work! You don't need to know why :biggrin:
And while your banana skin's working its magic, mojo~monkey, you should think about starting a Fleece is so totally Lady H&R soc :wink:
So which bit do you put on your feet overnight? the mushy part in the middle, or the insides of the skin?

the mushy part in the middle being the actual banana? the skin.......so the soft bin on the inside of the skin...not the actual banana.
Brilliant, the banana will taste even better that way. :wink:

I know ssomebody who physically removed one with a knife, but I think she regretted it afterwards.



I had a major one and basically got a load of stuff that dried skin out then cut it off with scissors

The only thing that ever got rid of mine when I was younger was homeopathic tablets called Thuja. I tried Bazuka, everything and nothing worked for over a year. I took these little tablets for two weeks and it was gone.

You can get them for a couple of quid from most chemists and I swear to god they are magical on verrucas. Would recommend to anyone :smile:
i have one that i've honestly cut off about 5 times - it just keeps coming back! so maybe thats not such a good idea... does get rid of it for a bit though, plus if you cut it/file it down a bit, then treat it with whatever you're going to use, it'll work better.

jus off to find a banana now for mine! :p:
What in the world is a verruca?

Get the bazuca extra strength, the one in the yellow packet. It does work as it's so damn strong! Don't get it on the surrounding skin though because it will just tear it all off!!
