That's interesting about garlic.

It's a cluster of verruccas I've got - just closely clustered, so looks like one great big one. However, over the weekend, some have gone! And the remaining one or two are tiny - won't be long now! (how sad that I am actually excited!)

Did anyone see the little girl on Embarrassing Bodies (Channel 4) a while ago? Her foot was literally covered in them. Made mine look so insignificant. Anyway, she ended up having a bone marrow transplant - some immune mediated condition. I do think we should take things like this a little more seriously - they only found out about my bizarre immune mediated condition because I kept fainting.... once I knew about it, it all made sense

That would have been ideal if not about 35 years to late. When l was about 12 l had to have a ga had an overgrowth of wart virus drew red ink circles head to toe around every wart had a GA well over 2 hours while they froze them all. Was a big blister for over a week.

You can also use fresh garlic cut into thin slices and placed over the wart underneath a plaster.

Garlic is a natural anti viral and kills the actual virus that causes the wart.

Used to get verrucas as a kid and have them frozen off. Dr would make my life a hell freezing them wish l had known about vinegar.

i might try this. cos for last 2 weeks, ive had a wierd lump on my finger, and its now just starting to look like a veruuca (gross cos its on my finger)... it has little black dots in it and the skin around is hard and rough.

I came home from work one eve and my finger hurt but no sign of a wound or puncture, next morning woke up with a white bump on my finger and it hurt. I covered it up with plaster and hoped it would go whatever it was. Over the last week, the white hard skin has kinda sloughed off and i can now see little black dots like a veruuca... Its disgusting. I have a hard rough raised lump on my finger and hurts if pressed on directly... especially when i turn the key on in ignition in my car!!

Im not entirely sure if it is a veruuca on my finger (i could post a pic if you want, but dont wana scare anyone haha)
... but i suppose i could try the vinegar or lemon thing and see what happens...

Will remember this tip. I had one for a few years - nothing worked until I got the stuff to freeze warts off yourself and used it too much - way ove the time they said as it hadnt worked and hey presto!! It finally fell off, not without lots of pain etc though and signifiant skin loss - dont try this yourself!

i have an extremely poor immune systems so rather than having one verucca for about 3years i had clusters of them on my foot....disgusting a know!! I tried every treatment under the sun, including the ones that the doctor prescribed but nothin worked. I then happened to drop my laptop on my foot one day which left it extremely bruised and for some reason it must have killed the blood supply as they all dropped off!! Could be coincedence and pretty disgustin but it worked lmao

Ahh didn't think of lemon juice. Funny thing is that the surrounding skin is absolutely fine. Wonders of Sarsons Vinegar though hey!

And yes, it's good for cleaning - especially the shower! Just be sure to ventilate the room afterwards - chip shop!

well it essentially cooks your skin... so i would have thought it would remove anything if used for a long period. be careful! i bet lemon juice would do the same.

I've never heard of vinegar being used for veruccas but it just goes to show how versatile the stuff is! I've just started using it for cleaning (as recommended by kim and aggie!) and it works wonders on limescale. Will remember this one is case i get anoth verucca!
