it really depends on your budget, I do recommend this http://www.boots.com/en/Scholl-Freeze-Verruca-Wart-Remover-80ml-53g_28270/
I had one once and it got infected and burst and couldn't walk on it and had to go to A and E. Once I'd had antibiotics etc I just used that bazuca stuff with an emory board and it was fine
If you live near salford university they're giving a free treatment for a study they're conducting could be worth you checking out

Go to your GP and have it frozen off. I had this done in the summer and depending on the size of the thing it will take one to three appointments. It's free and more effective than the medicine. And also the little cavity it leave behind when it falls out fills back in without scarring or discomfort.
Depends on the size - if it's relatively small then an over-the-counter acid gel or freezing kit should do the trick. If it's larger then going to the GP and having it frozen off with a stronger product may be the better choice.
Bazuka that verruca

that Bazooka stuff worked really quickly for me

there are more traditional remedies available:

don't use the gel stuff that's suppose to dry it out unless you enjoy months of slowly digging out dead infected flesh from your foot.
